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)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir until evenly distributed.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract to the nut butter mixture. Stir well until fully combined.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly coated and a thick mixture forms.
Step 6
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chia seeds (if using) until just incorporated.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands to press it down firmly and evenly.
Step 8
Chill the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to slice.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
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!
