Instructions
  1. Preheat oven at 350 F, and grease or oil an 8x8 pan.

  2. In a large mixing bowl combine: 1/3 cup sifted coconut flour, 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/8 tsp sea salt. Mix together thoroughly. Set aside.

  3. In a different large mixing bowl combine: 2 eggs, 1/4 cup almond or coconut milk, 1/3 cup pumpkin puree, 2 tbsp melted coconut oil or butter, 1/3 cup maple syrup or sweetener of choice, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix together until combined. Add the baking soda –vinegar mixture to the egg mixture. Mix together thoroughly.

  4. Add coconut flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir until combined.
  5. Pour and spread batter into greased 8x8 pan, and set aside.
  6. In a medium mixing bowl combine all the crumble topping ingredients, use a fork to mix topping until a paste forms.
  7. Take the crumble topping and scatter chunks of crumble topping all over the top of the pumpkin batter in the pan, *seen in photo above*.
  8. Bake at 350 F for 28 to 30 minutes or until top is browned, and toothpick comes out of center clean.
  9. Cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for one hour or longer (this sets the pumpkin layer).
