Ingredients
- 3 cups quick oats divided
- 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 2 Tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 2 Tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup chopped walnuts plus more for topping
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray and set aside.
- Put 2 cups of the quick oats in a blender or food processor and blend until you’ve created oat flour.
- Transfer the oat flour to a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt and stir to combine.
- Add pumpkin, maple syrup, coconut oil, flaxseed and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix well until combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Scatter additional chocolate chips and walnuts on top, gently pressing them down.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, until the bars are cooked through and a toothpick insured comes out clean.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 9 bars and serving.
Notes
- sweet potato puree
- butternut squash puree
- monk fruit maple syrup
- Oats – Quick oats are the best for these oat bars, but rolled oats will work as a substitute.
- Pumpkin – Pumpkin is the star ingredient in this recipe, but you could also use sweet potato puree or butternut squash puree instead of the pumpkin puree if you’d like.
- Maple syrup – You can replace this with any other liquid sweetener, such as honey, agave syrup or monk fruit maple syrup for a sugar-free option.
- Flaxseed – If you don’t need these bars to be vegan you can use a regular egg instead of the flaxseed.
- Coconut oil – You can use any other neutral oil in place of coconut oil like olive oil or avocado oil.
- Mix-in's – Feel free to customize these bars with your favorite mix-in's. Instead of walnuts and chocolate chips you can use a blend of other mix-in's. Some ideas: almonds, pecans, pepitas, dried cranberries, raisins, dried cherries, cacao nibs.
- Nut-free – If you need these bars to be nut-free skip the walnuts all together.
