Quest 78: Ordon Pumpkin Bars



It's September. This means that the days are getting shorter and cooler, Starbucks has brought back the pumpkin spice latte, and the internet is starting to hit the world with pumpkin recipes - so here is one more! As you most likely know by now, pumpkins appear in Twilight Princess in the Village of Ordon. The pumpkins are great! They even have rupees inside some of them. This recipe combines the two best things in a gluten free format - molasses cookies and pumpkin pie. I hope you like this recipe. I know my taste testers sure did. Enjoy!

Quest!
Let's start with the crust. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prep an 8x8 pan with non stick spray. In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar.
Add egg and molasses. Continue to mix together.
Add flour, baking soda and spices. Stir together until well mixed.
Pour 1/2 of the batter into the pan and bake for 10-12 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
Once cooled, press cookie into itself to compact.
Don't forget to bake up the rest of the cookies! Roll into 1 inch balls. Roll in sugar and place on a cookie sheet. Press cookies down. Bake for 12-14 minutes.
Enjoy the extra cookies!
Now back to our regularly scheduled recipe. For the filling, combine the eggs, coconut milk, pumpkin, and brown sugar. Mix to combine. Add flour and spices and mix until smooth.
Pour mixture on top of our cooled crust and bake for 40 minutes.
 At the 40 minute mark, sprinkle about 1/4 cup of sugar over the top of the custard. Continue baking for 10-15 minutes or until custard is set.
 Done! Set aside until cooled.
 Once cooled, add chopped pecans over the top.
Add mini chocolate chips.
Melt butterscotch and Crisco together in a double boiler or microwave. Drizzle over the top.
Cut bars and Enjoy!
