Pumpkin Seed and Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Breakfast Bars

Pumpkin Seed and Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Breakfast Bars combine hearty rolled oats and oat flour with nutty pumpkin seeds and sweet chocolate chips for a textured, wholesome bar. Warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg add depth without overpowering. The bars are bound with dairy-free milk and natural syrups, baked until set and easily portioned, making them convenient for grab-and-go breakfasts.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats old fashioned
  • 1 ¼ cups oat flour
  • 3-4 Tablespoons pumpkin seeds
  • 2-3 Tablespoons chocolate chips I used Lily's chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
  • ⅛-¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ cup + 2 Tablespoons dairy-free milk
  • ⅓ cup brown rice syrup
  • 1-2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8" × 8" baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, oat flour, pumpkin seeds, chocolate chips, cinnamon, sea salt, and nutmeg.
  3. In a smaller bowl, combine the milk, brown rice syrup, and maple syrup.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until well combined.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, and press it down until evenly distributed. Using a sharp knife, cut to mark out the bars before you bake them to make it easier to fully cut and remove the bars once baked. (I usually mark out 16 bars, but you can make whatever size you like.)
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from oven and let bars cool in pan. Once cool, use a sharp knife to fully cut the bars, then remove with a spatula and enjoy!

Notes

  • Chocolate chips can be replaced with raisins or dried cranberries for a different sweet flavor.
  • Swap pumpkin seeds with sunflower seeds as an alternative crunchy addition.
