Instructions

Directions

  • Preheat the Oven: Begin by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until well-incorporated.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Combine Mixtures: Fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing for light bars.
  • Add Mix-ins: Gently fold in chocolate chips or other mix-ins to enhance flavor and texture.
  • Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-24 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool: Allow bars to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before transferring to cool completely.
