Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Line or grease an 8×8 pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Add the homemade oat flour, rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, and baking soda into the mixture. Stir gently until well mixed. Then, fold in the chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter evenly into the lined pan. If you like, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for added sweetness.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 24 – 26 minutes. Check the bars with a toothpick; it should come out clean, and the top should be golden brown.
  3. Allow the bars to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting them into squares. Enjoy your Healthy Pumpkin Oatmeal Bars!

Notes

Customize the bars with nuts, seeds, or different spices as you like. They store well in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge or can be frozen for up to 3 months.
