healthy pumpkin bars

These bars are tender when warm out of the oven, so do be sure to let them cool completely before slicing.

cup whole wheat flour or gluten free flour blend

flaxseed

cinnamon

teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

teaspoon baking powder

teaspoon baking soda

eggs

cup pumpkin puree

maple syrup

coconut oil

teaspoon vanilla extract

chocolate chips, raisins, dried cranberries, or chopped walnuts

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and coat an 8&#215;8 pan with nonstick spray.

Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and stir together to combine thoroughly, but gently.

Place batter into prepared and smooth with a spatula so the batter is evenly distributed in the pan.

Bake for 20-24 minutes or until lightly golden brown around the edges and a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out cleanly.

Remove from oven, place pan on a wire rack and allow to cool completely before slicing.

I made this with my 2.5 year old grandson. So easy and they came out great. I want sure if he’d like the texture of the oats, but they were soft and smooth in texture and he loved them! We’ll be making these again, thanks!

Pumpkin_Bars_Horiz_1080p

This is my go to website when I want to find a reliable healthy and tasty recipe to feed my 3 and 1.5 year old! These pumpkin bars are AMAZING. They're healthy and just the perfect amount of sweet, I used mini dark chocolate chips in mine and after tasting them I wound up making a second pan just for myself!

My kids absolutely loved this ! They loved to eat the dough before baking it too  😂. Thanks so much ❤️.

sea salt

muscovado sugar ((unrefined brown sugar) or coconut sugar)

coconut oil (melted;

cream cheese (softened)

nutmeg

Preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C. Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33cm) baking pan with butter or oil.

In a large bowl whisk together rolled oats, flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl combine muscovado sugar, pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, eggs and vanilla.

Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in pan.

For the frosting, beat together the softened cream cheese and maple syrup with a hand mixer until smooth. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake. Then grate some fresh nutmeg over top (alternatively you can sprinkle a little more pumpkin pie spice over the frosting).

I was trying to find a recipe that would curb my sweet tooth, but still on the healthier side! I definitely think this recipe is it! However, if I wanted them to be just a tad bit sweeter, should I add more coconut sugar? If so, how much would you recommend adding? Thanks!! I already can’t wait to make these again!

delicious - the perfect dessert or snack bar! I'm making another batch today, they went so fast.

Absolutely amazing! I make pumpkin bars every Thanksgiving and it’s not a recipe that uses the healthiest ingredients. My family loves them though. This recipe is hands down my favorite and the family agrees. Thanks for sharing your delicious recipes with us.

These are great! I did not expect the pumpkin flavor to be as bold as it is, and I really like it! Very easy to make as well. I only needed to cook mine for 20 minutes and they were a little overdone, but I think that was my mistake. Even so, they are great. Thanks!!

These are a Fall staple in my house. They’ve turned out great every time I’ve made them. Making them later this week, but I don’t have applesauce so I’ll see how they turn out. Maybe I can just grate an apple in there.

I made these with Bob's Gluten free flour and 2 whole eggs. They are tasty but came out a tad dry. This was my first attempt using gluten free flour so I don't know if the liquids need to be adjusted to compensate or what. They are still tasty though!

I make these almost every week.  Whole family can’t get enough.  Use spelt flour, a whole egg instead of the 2 whites and coconut yogurt instead, but it still turns out beautifully.

Side note, there has not been one of your recipes, that I have tried, that hasn’t be amazing.  Love your website.

These are seriously good. I used half whole wheat (not pastry) and half AP flour. They are so moist and fluffy. The only issue I had was my edges were slightly chewy, but that could have been overmixing since my toddler helped make them :) Mine were done at around 23 minutes, glad I checked them when I did. Might even check at 20 mins next time - there will def be a next time!
