Healthy Pumpkin Oatmeal Bars (Gluten Free, Vegan)

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Grease or line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients (pumpkin puree, maple syrup, flax eggs, and milk).

Step 3

Then add in the dry ingredients (gluten-free rolled oats, pumpkin spice, baking powder, sea salt, and coconut sugar). Combine gently with a spatula.

Step 4

Fold in walnuts and chocolate chips if using any.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the baking dish and sprinkle extra pecans and chocolate chips on top (optional). Bake 30 - 35 min or until a toothpick comes out clean, but the top is still soft to touch.

Step 6

Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes then take it out on a cooling rack. Cut in to squares and enjoy!
