The Bestest Gluten Free Pumpkin Bars, EVER!!!

I found a pumpkin bar recipe at Elana's Pantry (http://www.elanaspantry.com) and adapted it a bit for what I had here at the house. This is a great website with lots of resources for people who can't have gluten or who are trying to make more organic or healthier foods. This first one is my version...and it was YUMMY!!! The second recipe is from Elana's website. Enjoy!!

Pumpkin Bars
1 can of puree pumpkin
½ cup agave nectar

4 eggs (or 4 tablespoons of ground flaxseeds + 8 tablespoons of milk)
1 recipe almond pulp left over from making almond milk (Julie's Almond Milk Recipe)
1 cup rice flour (or you could use 2 recipes of almond pulp)
