Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

For the batter

2 large eggs Large eggs for binding.
½ cup pumpkin puree Canned or homemade pumpkin puree.
⅓ cup pure maple syrup Natural sweetener.
¼ cup coconut sugar You can adjust sweetness to your preference.
½ cup melted coconut oil For moisture.
1 tsp vanilla extract For flavor.
⅔ cup oat flour Gluten-free if needed.
¾ cup rolled oats Old-fashioned oats recommended.
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice For the classic pumpkin flavor.
½ tsp baking soda Helps the bars rise.
½ cup chocolate chips Use dairy-free for a vegan version.

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line or grease an 8×8 pan with parchment and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add in the oat flour, rolled oats, pumpkin spice, and baking soda. Mix well and gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter evenly into the lined pan and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.

Baking

Bake for 24–26 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the bars are golden brown.
Let them cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into bars.

Notes

Serve warm for best flavor, and can be stored for one week in an airtight container in the fridge or frozen for up to three months. For variations, consider nuts or dried fruits for added texture.
