I did still use the egg. I did not think about leaving it out– though I am sure it would have worked to leave out since I used the flax and other ingredients. They turned out nice and moist with the egg added- I may leave the egg out next time and maybe add a bit a water to see how it turns out. I have some butternut squash left, and saw your post today about the muffins– plan on trying them this weekend. Thanks again!

Hi Kelley!–Thanks so much for sharing your adaptation of this recipe. It’s going to be VERY helpful to others. So to be clear, you didn’t use any eggs by uwing the flax and arrowroot? Is that right? I actually made a version for our support group meeting a few months ago that was almond flour, tapioca flour, and just a little of my rice flour/cornstarch mix (as I was running out). Afterwards I realized that I could have cut back on the oil quite a bit because of the almond flour, but the squares were still good and enjoyed by all. So I think this recipe is more flexible than one might think.

Thanks again for taking the time to share, Kelley, and for your sweet feedback on all the gfe recipes!

I know this is an old post, it has been on my recipes to try list for a while. Thought I would post my changes to lower the sugar, in case anyone else comes across the page. It tasted wonderful to me — though I have been eating very low sugar for a while (even unrefined sugar). I am also slowly trying to convert to more grain free diet- so I substituted some almond meal/flour I ground in the blender.

I made it with butternut squash, grapeseed oil (it was what I had), used 1/4 cup coconut sugar and a “squeeze of agave”, for flour I used 1/4 c almond meal, 1/8 cup each of flax and arrowroot and the rest rice flour.

After I put it in the oven, I realized I forgot to put in the salt! However when it came out it was actually edible – thankfully. I think the mild flavor added from the grapeseed oil and almond flour made it okay without the salt. I really enjoyed it — have not had a dessert in several weeks, so it was a great treat! Thanks Shirley for all the wonderful recipes you have on the site.
