Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.33 cup Maple syrup
- 0.5 cup Nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds (optional, for added texture and nutrition)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir until evenly distributed.
In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the nut butter and maple syrup. Microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until the mixture softens slightly, then whisk until smooth.
Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract to the nut butter mixture. Stir well until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly coated and a thick mixture forms.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chia seeds (if using) until just incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands to press it down firmly and evenly.
Chill the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to slice.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the energy bar slab out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 12 rectangular bars or your preferred size.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Enjoy them as a quick and tasty energy boost!
