Preheat oven to 350F. Grease an 8x8 baking dish. Set aside.

In a medium bowl whisk together eggs, pumpkin, vanilla, maple syrup and milk until smooth and combined.

In a large bowl whisk together all the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients on top, stir in combine. Stir in apple pieces.

Transfer batter into baking dish and use a spatula to evenly spread it out. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.

Let cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving. I love topping mine with a bit of Greek yogurt and almond butter.
