Description

These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars are soft, chewy, and packed with warm spices, oats, and melty chocolate. A quick and cozy treat that’s perfect for fall, school lunches, or anytime you need a comforting bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (or butter)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, stir together oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Mix Everything Together: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully combined.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Stir in chocolate chips, saving a few to sprinkle on top before baking.
  6. Transfer to Pan: Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
  7. Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
  8. Cool and Slice: Let bars cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

You can make these bars gluten-free by using certified GF oats and almond flour. For a vegan version, use flax eggs and dairy-free chocolate chips. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
