Pumpkin Sesame Bites

 On the sixth day of pumpkin season we made Pumpkin Sesame Bites (in my queen of the night aria voice that’s about to crack from the pressure). Are you counting down the days to Christmas the way I am? I am looking forward to all the pressure just being over with. I think Christmas should be consider just a stressful holiday, but with all the snow and chilly weather it’s just become such a cozy day.   Pumpkin Sesame Bites was my attempt to make a low-fat brownie that was thick and chewy with  a nutty flavor. Let’s just say I got a sweet and nutty cake texture that’s moist and tastes great in bite size pieces. I’m still on a mission for that chewy, crispy thick pumpkin brownie, but these were pretty good so they made the cut in the 30daysofpumpkinseason.
