Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease/line a 8-9” round baking pan. 

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin, maple syrup, coconut sugar, EVOO, and vanilla until completely combined. 

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until combined. 

  4. 4

    Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.

  5. 5

    Pour into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. 

  6. 6

    Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. 

  7. 7

    Let the cake cool completely.

  8. 8

    To make the caramel, combine all of the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently for about 1 minute as the mixture begins to bubble and everything has emulsified. Remove from the heat and stir in a pinch of flaky salt. Let cool completely.
