Vegan Pumpkin Oatmeal Bars

These Vegan Pumpkin Oatmeal Bars are chewy, moist, and packed with the warm flavors of pumpkin and spices. Perfect as a snack or breakfast treat, they’re naturally sweetened and wholesome.

  • Total Time: 55-60 minutes
  • Yield: 9-12 bars 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 1/4 cup oat milk or other plant-based milk
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
  • Optional Add-Ons:
  • 3–4 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt (for sprinkling)
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the baking dish: Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, letting edges hang for easy removal.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and oat milk until smooth.
  4. Mix in dry ingredients: Add rolled oats, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, sea salt, and coconut sugar. Mix gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in add-ins: Gently fold in pecans and mini chocolate chips if using.
  6. Let the batter sit: Rest for 10-15 minutes so oats absorb liquid and batter thickens.
  7. Transfer to baking dish: Spread batter evenly into the prepared dish, optionally sprinkling extra pecans and chocolate chips on top.
  8. Bake: Bake for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and top feels set.
  9. Cool down: Let the bars cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes.
  10. Cut into squares: Lift bars using parchment paper and slice into squares. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, substitute rolled oats with almond flour and adjust liquid as needed.
  • If pumpkin pie spice is unavailable, mix cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger individually.
  • Store-bought pumpkin puree can be used for convenience.
  • These bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or frozen for longer storage.
