Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bars recipe
This Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bars recipe is super tasty and easy to make! You'll love these bars for a snack or dessert.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ⅓ cup honey, sub maple syrup if vegan
- ½ cup pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
- 2 cups old fashioned oatmeal
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips, plus extra for top
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. Leave enough on the sides to allow you to pull the bars from the pan once cooked.
- In a microwave-safe mixing bowl, microwave the coconut oil and honey in 10-second increments until it becomes more like a liquid. Stir well.
- Add the oatmeal, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix together well. Allow to cool.
- Once the mixture is just cool enough to keep all the chocolate chips from melting carefully fold them in.
- Press the mixture into the pan. Smooth the top. Sprinkle any extra chocolate chips on the top you'd like and carefully pat them into the surface.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Allow to cool and put in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Use the parchment paper to pull the entire sheet of bars out of the pan. Carefully cut into bars. Store in the fridge!
