Pumpkin Protein Bars (Vegan + Gluten Free)

These Pumpkin Protein Bars provide a vegan and gluten-free snack option that balances oats, vegan protein powder, and pumpkin puree with warm pumpkin pie spice. A touch of maple syrup adds sweetness, while oat milk keeps the batter moist. The final bars are baked into a dense, chewy texture with optional dairy-free chocolate chips for a mild chocolate note. They're a convenient make-ahead bar for a nutritious snack or light breakfast.
