Healthy Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal Bars

They're dense, perfectly sweet, and have an underlying tone of pumpkin spice. They're naturally vegan, and you can make them gluten-free by using gluten-free flour.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup oats (either old-fashioned or quick-cooking)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour *You can sub for another cup of oats, spelt flour, or gluten-free all purpose flour. I haven't tested swapping this for coconut or almond flour, though!
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or nut milk of choice)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons slivered almonds (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8x8 baking pan with coconut oil (or lay down a piece of parchment paper).
  • Mix together all dry ingredients. Then, add all wet ingredients to your bowl. No need to dirty up two bowls!
  • Pour the batter into your baking pan and top with slivered almonds, coconut shreds, etc.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes. It won't rise much, but stick a toothpick or fork into the pan after 30 minutes. If the batter doesn't stick to the toothpick, it's done.
  • Let it cool, slice, and devour. I also added drippy almond butter before taking these photos.
