Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree Cooked and mashed
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Applesauce Mashed
  • 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour or oat flour for grain-free
  • 1/4 cup Rolled Oats
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon

Equipment

  • Mini muffin tin
  • Silicone Muffin Liners (optional)
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with silicone muffin liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the pumpkin puree and unsweetened applesauce until well combined.

  3. Stir in the whole wheat flour (or oat flour), rolled oats, chia seeds, shredded coconut, and cinnamon into the wet ingredients. Mix until a thick dough forms. It will be a bit sticky, which is normal.

  4. Spoon about one tablespoon of the dough into each compartment of your prepared mini muffin tin. You can gently press them down slightly with the back of your spoon.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the tarts are firm to the touch. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  6. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the tarts cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This ensures they firm up properly.

Notes

Store cooled tarts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2-3 months.
