Ingredients
  

1 cup canned pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)

1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of choice)

1/3 cup maple syrup (or honey)

1/4 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or dairy-free chocolate chips)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin, almond butter, maple syrup, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well blended.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

        Combine Everything: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

          Add the Oats & Chocolate: Gently fold in the rolled oats, dark chocolate chips, and chopped nuts. Make sure the chocolate and nuts are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread it out evenly using a spatula.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (moist crumbs are fine, but no wet batter).

                Cool and Cut: Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, cut into squares or bars.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Serve your delicious pumpkin chocolate snack bars as a healthy treat or breakfast on-the-go! They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerated for up to two weeks.
