- 3/4 cup spelt or whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 cup chopped toasted pecans
- 1/2 cup of rapadura or brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (one teaspoon for crust, one for batter)
- 1/2 cup melted butter

- 1 cup heavy cream (1 cup pureed ricotta works just as well)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Preheat oven to 350. In mixing bowl, combine flours, nuts, sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Add butter, mix until crumbly. Reserve 1/3 of the mixture. Pat remaining mixture on bottom of 13x9-inch baking pan (you can use a bit smaller pan, it will just be a deeper bar and cook a bit longer)
- Meanwhile, in large mixing bowl combine pumpkin, heavy cream, eggs, cinnamon, spices, maple, vanilla and salt. Mix well. Pour evenly over crust ad sprinkle reserved crust over pumpkin mixture.
- Bake 40-50 minutes or until set.
