Paleo Pumpkin Chocolate Coconut Oil Bars! These gooey brownies melt in your mouth with every bite. Easy to make and absolutely delicious. Gluten Free + Paleo

Pumpkin Chocolate Coconut Oil Bars

Oh fall how I love you, but holly wow is it ever getting harder and harder to get out of bed early during the week. It’s cold. It’s dark. I just wanna stay in bed snuggled in my warm comforter until noon. Then crawl out of bed and eat everything pumpkin.

Speaking of pumpkin, my Pumpkin Almond Chocolate Muffins were featured on Lifehack last week. I was so excited when I saw my recipe lined up as #3 with some of the best food bloggers around. Strange thing is if I hadn’t been injured this year I probably wouldn’t have gotten into food blogging.

Although food was part of what I always intended to share on my blog, it certainly wasn’t my intention for food to become such a big part of what my blog would become known for. Crazy how things happen.

Pumpkin Chocolate Coconut Oil Bars

To celebrate my pumpkin muffin feature, I wanted to share another awesome pumpkin recipe treat with you guys today. I actually wasn’t planning to post this one until later this month for Thanksgiving, but they’re just too good not to share now.

I made these a few weeks ago for a potluck at work and they were a big hit. OMG..there were so many unhealthy treats. An entire conference room was filled with sweets. Most of them were store bought and not homemade.

Even yours truly had too much of the good stuff and I should’ve known better. Until that day I’d been sweets free for over a month. It was days before my birthday so I thought there would be no harm in having a few. Only one problem.

I didn’t eat the healthy treats I brought. Granted they’re all still treats at the end of the day, but at least I know what ingredients are in mine and how my body reacts to them. But I got sucked in by carrot cake and a macadamia nut cookie. I can never say no to carrot cake. Plus I already sampled my goodies at home. No harm in venturing out, right?

Was I ever wrong about that. A few hours later my stomach started doing flip flops. The problem is once you stop eating things with refined sugar your system has no idea what to do with it when you put it in your body. Mine freaked out big time and I didn’t feel good that whole night.

If anything, the experience made me realize how much better I’ve been feeling eating real, whole food and keeping my refined sugar intake low. One of these days I will get around to sharing more about my eating whole experience. I learned a lot about what my body’s needs are.

This morning I’m off to swim then getting labs done before heading to the office. My foot doctor (who I’m divorcing after this) ordered labs for arthritic things: uric acid, ANA complete, rheumatoid factor and sed rate. Last week he was supposed to give me a steroid injection, but that didn’t happen. He ordered oral steroids which I’m conflicted about taking. I’ll explain more later in the week. Stay tuned….

    These would be perfect to pack in Joshua’s lunches everyday. I can no longer eat ice cream (aside from soft serve) because it gives me such an upset stomach.

    Yum! These sound delicious! I had some pudding pie that had regular pudding and whipped cream this weekend that I NEVER eat with my paleo lifestyle. I felt pretty sick that evening and still the next day. It was good though! Although a little too sweet….

      I get it. I remind myself of that sick feeling when I think I want something.

    I find it encouraging when food I used to eat makes me feel yuck after… means my eating habits are actually changing, albeit slowly.
    Pinning this for soon! Thank you!

    Oooh yum! Great snack! If only steve lived chocolatey things! I can make these for myself for when he is gone 😛 I guess this shows you should trust your gut when it comes to eating what you know your body can handle! Thanks for joining us for Meatless monday, would you be able to do me a favor next time and add the button to your post? Thank you so much! Cant wait to see what you bring next time 🙂
