3 Ingredient Healthier Pumpkin Oatmeal Bars
These pumpkin oatmeal bars are soft and chewy. They only need 3 ingredients and don't contain any flour, eggs, dairy, refined sugar, butter or oil. They take only about 5 minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups (324g) pumpkin puree
- 3-4 tbsp (44ml-59ml) maple syrup
- 2 cups (175g) quick oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8 inch by 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Add pumpkin, 3 tbsp maple syrup, and quick oats to a large mixing bowl. Stir and mix with a spatula until the ingredients are evenly mixed and the oats are fully incorporated. Your batter will be very thick. Taste, and if needed, you can add a little more syrup. If adding any spices or mix-ins, add them in now.
- Transfer the batter into your prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to evenly spread it across the pan and smooth the surface.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the bars set and cooked through. Let bars cool fully before removing them from the pan and cutting and serving. Store uneaten bars in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- These are meant to be healthier pumpkin oatmeal bars so they are not as rich as regular oatmeal bars. Check out "Optional Add-ins" section in the post for other things you can add to the bars for more flavor and texture.
