Cinnamon Pumpkin Squares

October is one of my favorite months because of all of the amazing pumpkin recipes you can experiment with. Pumpkin smoothies, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin lattes and the list goes on. Today, I want to share with you my yummy pumpkin square recipe that is super easy to make and that you can make under an hour (including bake time!). This recipe is also dairy free and sugar free and still tastes delicious! We know pumpkin not only is delicious tasting but there are some incredible health benefits of this tasty little treat.  Pumpkins are rich in vitamin A, which is important for eye sight, are an excellent source of fiber, needed for healthy digestion, rich in potassium and vitamin C and have free-radical-neutralizing powers due to  the carotenoid content keeping cancer cells at bay and skin wrinkle free!
