These oatmeal bars are soft, chewy and full of pumpkin and pumpkin pie flavor. They only take a few minutes to prepare and you don’t even need a mixer to make them.

Ingredients

  • Quick Oats
  • Pumpkin
  • Maple syrup
  • Pumpkin pie spice

Quick oats: These bars work best with quick oats. Quick oats are smaller and thinner than regular rolled oats so they bind better and cook faster.

Pumpkin puree: I used canned pumpkin puree but you can also use homemade. Make sure to use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling which contains sugar and spices.

Maple syrup: The bars are sweetened with maple syrup. You can likely substitute with other liquid sweeteners.

Pumpkin pie spice: Pumpkin pie spice is added to give the oatmeal bars their pumpkin pie flavor.

How to Make Healthier Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal Bars

  • The pumpkin, maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice are first mixed together. The oats are then stirred in until they are fully incorporated.
  • Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly across.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes or until the bars are done.

Texture

The bars are soft and chewy. They are lightly sweet but not as sweet as traditional pumpkin pie. You can add more syrup if you prefer them to be sweeter.

Expert Tips

  • If you don’t have quick oats on hand, you can pulse rolled oats in a food processor for a few seconds until they become the size of quick oats.
  • You can likely use other liquid sweeteners instead of maple syrup but I think maple syrup makes these taste more like pumpkin pie.
  • You can leave out the pumpkin pie spice if you don’t like pumpkin pie spice, but your bars won’t really taste like pumpkin pie bars.
