PUMPKIN-CARROT-COCONUT CAKE

When I started messing about in the kitchen this morning my mission was to make this week’s batch of granola bars using the pumpkin I had left over from the Pumpkin Oat muffins I made last week. But by the time I opened the oven door my original plan had changed just a bit and I ended up with this yummy pumpkin-carrot-coconut cake. It’s super healthy ( no flour, refined sugar, butter or oil ) it’s also not too sweet, so I see no reason why you couldn’t eat it for breakfast…or with a cup of coffee…or tea…or for dessert!

On a baking sheet spread out your pecans and coconut. Bake at 325 for about 4 min or until the coconut is just turning golden. Keep a close eye on it as it burns fast.
