Deze Vegan pompoenrepen 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 veganistische vanilleglazuur 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.

Ingrediënten en vervangingen
All you need to make pumpkin bars are a few wholesome ingredients:
- Gemalen lijnzaad – This works as an egg replacer and binds the ingredients together.
- Lauwwarm water – To activate the flax egg.
- Meel voor alle doeleinden – or white spelt. The recipe doesn’t work with almond flour or oat flour. For a gluten-free version, use my Omrekeningsgids voor glutenvrije producten.
- Bakpoeder en Bakpoeder – To five it some rise.
- Pompoen puree – 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.
- Zachte bruine suiker – Or coconut sugar, both work as well.
- Lichte olijfolie or canola oil or eventually melted coconut oil, but preferably an oil with no strong flavor to enjoy the best pumpkin spice flavors.
- Amandelmelk or any non-dairy milk you love, like oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk.
- Vanille-extract voor de smaak.
- Kaneel. Gember, Piment, Nootmuskaat – The mix of spices gives the bars the best fall flavors.
- Veganistische vanilleglazuur - Deze glazuur recept 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.
Allergie-uitwisselingen
Below are some options to make this fall recipe with different ingredients if needed.
- Zonder Noten – Swap the almond milk for oat milk or soy milk.
- Glutenvrij – Voor een glutenvrije versie, gebruik mijn recept. Omrekeningsgids voor glutenvrije producten.. But again, this is a suggestion, and the result might be very different, as all gluten-free flours are not equal.
- Lijnzaadmeel – You can replace the ground flaxseeds with the same amount of ground chia seeds or cornstarch.
