I’m one of those people who eat pumpkin year round. Pumpkin pie in March? Yes, please. Pumpkin pancakes in June? Don’t mind if I do. I don’t need a calendar to tell me it’s okay to enjoy certain flavors. Pshhh, I’ll eat what I want, when I want, thank you very much. Can you tell I have a bit of a rebellious spirit?? 😜

Well, since I just love pumpkin so much, you’d better believe we’re indulging even more now that pumpkin is in abundance…and on sale too!

I like just about any pumpkin treat, whether it be in the form of pie, cake, cookies, bars, or ice cream. My favorite pumpkin flavor combo has always been pumpkin and cream cheese, but lately I’ve been enjoying pumpkin with chocolate! I mean, what’s not to love? It’s two amazing flavors combined into one!

If you like chocolate chip cookies, you’re going to LOVE these bars! They taste very similar, but get extra flavor and moisture from the pumpkin puree and a subtle kick from the warm spices. Oh, and they’re dairy, egg, gluten, and refined sugar free, plus they’re just made with oats so they’re, like, technically a breakfast food. You’re welcome. 😉

Description

These pumpkin bars have chunks of chocolate and warm spices! The perfect fall time treat which is free of gluten, dairy, eggs, and refined sugar!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour* (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice, or additional cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree, fresh or from a can (don’t use pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/4 cup oil of choice or melted coconut oil or butter
  • flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate, plus more for top of batter (use dairy-free chocolate chips if necessary)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, blend together dry ingredients—oat flour, coconut sugar, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt.
  3. Add pumpkin puree, coconut oil, flax egg, and vanilla extract, stirring until well combined. If mixture is too dry, add a splash of milk or water. Stir in chocolate chips and then spread batter into prepared pan. Top with additional chocolate chips and bake for 18–22 minutes, or just until center is set. Let cool before cutting into bars. Makes 9–12 bars, depending on how large you cut them. Store in an airtight container in a cool room for 2–3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

*You can make your own oat flour by finely grinding rolled oats in a food processor or coffee grinder! Just be sure to measure the flour out after grinding.

    Lovely photographs across your blog! They are so beautiful! I wanted to ask, if I omit the spices, is there a prominent ‘pumpkin’ taste? I am wondering if I can add coco powder to the mixture, and essentially use the pumpkin to ass moisture. But I am unsure if the pumpkin flavor would clash with the chocolate/coco flavor. Any thoughts?

      Hi Poe! Thank you very much! I’m not sure if my taste buds are desensitized to pumpkin, but I added the spices because I couldn’t taste the pumpkin at all without them. My first batch was made without spices and they tasted like chocolate chip cookie bars! If you have an aversion to pumpkin, you could always substitute the pumpkin with mashed banana or avocado. You may have to adjust the liquid content depending which substitute you choose, but I think either way would work! And I don’t think the pumpkin would clash with the chocolate/cocoa flavor either, if that’s what you decide. Please let me know how it turns out! Enjoy!
