Ingredients
  

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain)

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

2 large eggs

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt.

        Combine Dry and Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.

          Swirl the Yogurt: Pour about half of the batter into the prepared baking pan. Drop spoonfuls of Greek yogurt over the batter, then pour the remaining batter on top. Use a knife to gently swirl the yogurt into the batter to create a marbled effect.

            Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

              Cool and Slice: Once done, remove from the oven and let the bars cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares.

                Serve: Enjoy your pumpkin yogurt swirl bars as a delightful snack or dessert, perhaps topped with a dollop of additional Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor!
