Estos Barritas veganas de calabaza are slices of moist pumpkin pie spice cake topped with a delicious dairy-free vanilla frosting. They are the best fall dessert for vegan Thanksgiving or simply to serve as a tea cake in Autumn.
I love the fall season, all the pumpkin spice flavors are so wonderful and this vegan pumpkin bars is perfect for pumpkin lovers. It’s also the easiest vegan pumpkin cake I’ve ever made. It bakes in less than 25 minutes, and the moist, fluffy pumpkin bars are even better than my vegan pumpkin bread.
It’s probably the glaseado de vainilla vegano that makes all the difference, or simply the fact that they are thin, spongier, and fluffier than regular cake. So, let me take you through this easy fall pumpkin recipe.

Ingredientes y sustituciones
All you need to make pumpkin bars are a few wholesome ingredients:
- Semillas de lino molidas – This works as an egg replacer and binds the ingredients together.
- Agua tibia – To activate the flax egg.
- Harina para todo uso – or white spelt. The recipe doesn’t work with almond flour or oat flour. For a gluten-free version, use my Guía de conversión a una dieta sin gluten.
- Levadura en polvo y Bicarbonato de sodio – To five it some rise.
- Puré de calabaza – I am using pure canned pumpkin puree, which is 100% made from a blend of different pumpkins. This is not the same as pumpkin pie filling that is sweetened. In canned pumpkin puree, there’s no added oil or sugar, and that’s what you need for this pumpkin bar recipe.
- Azucar morena – Or coconut sugar, both work as well.
- Aceite de oliva ligero or canola oil or eventually melted coconut oil, but preferably an oil with no strong flavor to enjoy the best pumpkin spice flavors.
- Leche de almendras o cualquier leche vegetal que te guste, como leche de avena, leche de soja o leche de coco.
- Extracto de vainilla por gusto
- Canela. Jengibre, Pimienta de Jamaica, Nuez moscada – The mix of spices gives the bars the best fall flavors.
- Glaseado de vainilla vegano - Esta receta de glaseado is very simple and basically made from vegan butter, powdered sugar, a splash of plant-based milk, and vanilla extract.
How To Make Vegan Pumpkin Bars
These vegan pumpkin bars also called vegan pumpkin cake bars are super simply to put together. The tricky part is to get a jelly roll pan or any rectangle pan close to a 10 inches x 15 inches in size.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 10-inch x 15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Lightly oil paper with cooking oil spray. Set it aside.
- In a small bowl, stir the ground flaxseeds and lukewarm water. Set aside for about 10 minutes until it looks thick and like an egg texture.
- In another large bowl, add the remaining wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, oil, vanilla extract, almond milk, and the flax egg made in step one (foto 1).
- Whisk to bring all the liquid ingredients together into a smooth liquid mixture (foto 2).
- Add the pumpkin spices, coconut sugar (or brown sugar), baking powder, baking soda, and salt (foto 3).
- Whisk until a thick orange mixture forms (foto 4).
- Sift in the flour, and stir into the wet ingredients using a silicone spatula (foto 5).
- Stir until the batter is well combined and thick (foto 6).
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan (foto 7) and spread it to an even thickness (foto 8).
- Bake in the center rack of the oven for 20 to 30 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bars comes out clean.
- Cool completely at room temperature on a wire rack before decorating.
Frosting Pumpkin Bars
Pumpkin bars are normally frosted with a cream cheese frosting. Here, I am using my classic vegan vanilla frosting to frost the bars. You can use the recipe, swapping half the vegan butter for the same amount of softened vegan cream cheese.
- Once the frosting is done, spread it using a flat spatula.
- Let the frosting rest before slicing it.
Intercambios para personas con alergias
Below are some options to make this fall recipe with different ingredients if needed.
- Sin nueces – Swap the almond milk for oat milk or soy milk.
- Sin gluten – Para una versión sin gluten, utilice mi Guía de conversión a una dieta sin gluten.. But again, this is a suggestion, and the result might be very different, as all gluten-free flours are not equal.
- Flax Meal – You can replace the ground flaxseeds with the same amount of ground chia seeds or cornstarch.
