Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree (150g)
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • ½ cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup oat flour (homemade, see notes)
  • ¾ cup rolled oats (gluten-free or regular)
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ tsp baking soda

Add-ins

  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it to prevent sticking, then set it aside.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, pure maple syrup, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Incorporate the homemade oat flour, rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, and baking soda into the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly until the batter is evenly mixed, then gently fold in the chocolate chips to distribute them without breaking them apart.
  4. Prepare the batter in the pan: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. For added chocolatey goodness, sprinkle some extra chocolate chips evenly on top.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 24 to 26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bars comes out clean and the edges have turned a light golden brown.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the bars from the oven and let them cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes to set. After cooling, cut into bars and enjoy your healthy pumpkin oatmeal bars!

Notes

  • Homemade oat flour can be made by grinding rolled oats in a food processor or blender until fine.
  • For gluten-free bars, ensure both the rolled oats and oat flour are certified gluten-free.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
  • These bars can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw before serving.
  • You can swap chocolate chips for chopped nuts or dried fruit for variation.
