Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Breakfast Bars

Easy pumpkin chocolate chip breakfast bars with oats, almond butter, and pumpkin naturally sweetened with maple syrup and dark chocolate. 

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Breakfast Bars by Flora & Vino

Hello!

This week feels heavy and it’s only Tuesday.

Yesterday I had a a home photo shoot in my kitchen, which was awesome because I got to see my friend Michelle of Bosch Studios, but also because the deadline forced me to clean up my new kitchen.

I was grumbling around washing pots and pans before the sun rose, my pretty gray granite counters slowly becoming more and more visible as the dirty dishes became clean and shelved.

They say your living space reflects your mental space, or maybe it’s the other way around?

Either way, they both got a massive makeover yesterday.

Which made it way too easy to turn around and make something delicious for breakfast.

I highly recommend you clear your kitchen counters and whip up a pan of Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Breakfast Bars.

They’re packed with pumpkin, protein, healthy fats, and all the fall feels you need this autumn.

Yesterday was also the first day of autumn, so despite it being over 90 degrees outside, I wore a sweater.

A pumpkin-colored sweater.

If it doesn’t feel like fall outside, we can fix that by turning on the oven and making it feel like fall on the inside.

This Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Breakfast Bars is filling, pumpkin-y, chocolate-y and the perfect amount of sweet.

It’s totally plant-based, vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and oil-free!

Are you need is all of the oats, pumpkin, nut butter, and chocolate.

Hu Kitchen Gems

Here’s what you need to make this recipe:

  • flax eggs (flaxseed + filtered water)
  • gluten-free oat flour
  • gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
  • pumpkin pie spice
  • baking powder
  • pumpkin pureé (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • natural almond butter (or any nut butter)
  • pure maple syrup
  • Hu Kitchen Baking Gems

Basically pumpkin chocolate oatmeal in bar form.

These bars are oat-based, using a mixture of whole old-fashioned oats and oat flour to achieve the perfect texture.

Creamy pumpkin and a “flax egg” functions as the “binders” in this recipe.

Creamy almond butter replaces the need for any oil with whole food fats.

If you don’t have almond butter you can sub virtually any nut or seed butter in its place, but I love the neutral taste of almonds in this recipe.

I used pure maple syrup to sweetened things up– add more if you prefer sweeter bars but I found that I liked mine on the less sweet side.

A touch of pumpkin pie spice spices them up nicely.

You can also add a dash of cinnamon here, but I found the pumpkin pie spice alone did the trick for me!

This might be because I was saving the sweetness for extra chocolate.

I used Hu Kitchen Baking Gems in this recipe to add extra sweetness to these nutritious bars.

I love these paleo, vegan, refined sugar-free chocolate chunks that make baking with clean chocolate super easy.

If you’re a chocolate lover like I am, trying mixing the suggested amount into the batter and then sprinkling more Gems on top.

If you’re looking for a lower sugar option, you can omit the chocolate chunks altogether, or substitute dried fruit or nuts instead.

I think dried cranberries, raisins, and/or or pecans would be a fantastic add-in here, too.

These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Breakfast Bars are perfect for a healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert.

Make a pan on Sunday and enjoy pumpkin bars all week long.

Be sure to let the bars cool completely before cutting so you have clean lines!

They’re hearty enough to store well and are perfect to slice up and take on the go.

They keep in the refrigerator for a week and can be frozen for long term storage.

Try eating them chilled from the fridge or reheat in the microwave for a soul-warming meal.

Enjoy!

    I love how easy these were to make. I had everything in my pantry! After impatiently waiting for them to cool, I cut nine super uneven pieces and dug in. Mine ended up a hybrid of a bar and actual oatmeal which was exactly what I wanted. So good!

      Either works! 8 x 8 will be fluffier and 9 x9 will be thinner. Let me know how it goes!

    Making these now but I’m not seeing the measurement of salt in the recipe. Please tell me I’m not crazy, haha! Hmmm.

      Also, the ingredients say baking powder but the instructions say baking soda, is it supposed to be powder? That’s what I tossed into my bowl.

    I made these and they turned out deliciously fudgy and filling. There is no amount listed for salt, though! I added 1/2 tsp, which was fine but I am NOT a natural born cook so I truly need measurements!

      Hi Coco! Thanks so much for leaving a review. And thank you for the feedback on the missing salt measurement– my mistake! So glad they turned out well regardless! 🙂

Instagram post 17846435458801159 All about a SWEET POTATO & BEET BREAKFAST HASH situation on a rainy Tuesday. 🌧 I like to call this mix “holiday hash” because it’s such a pretty red and green color for a holiday breakfast or brunch! 🎄 But it’s not just for brunch— you can eat it any old time of day. Grab the recipe on Flora & Vino- the link is in my profile! 👏 Oh and that beautiful veggie patty front and center is a @hilaryseatwell vegan sausage patty!

Instagram post 17873427568520023 Who are you serving today?🙏
-
My yoga teacher posed this question a few weeks back in a training weekend and it’s been a guiding force for me ever since. 🧘‍♀️
-
I woke up in a panic today, mind spinning with the weight of a hundred tiny bullets on my iPhone reminders list. 🤯
-
It was a busy weekend, to say the least, jam-packed with yoga teacher training and running a 15k (yay!) so I had to put life things on hold. 🏃‍♀️
-
Sometimes I get so lost in ticking off to-dos that I forget to look at the big picture, to remember what and who all of those satisfying little check marks are for. ✔️
-
Especially during this hectic holiday season, it’s SO easy to stay busy and not quite know what you’re busy for, you know? 🎅
-
So this morning I grabbed a cup of matcha, did some journaling, and thought about this question. Who am I serving today? 🍵
-
Maybe it’s a client, maybe it’s your kids, maybe it’s your partner, maybe it’s a friend. MAYBE it’s yourself. ☝🏻
-
Embracing the day from an attitude of service helps focus my mind and energy into that one big ticket thing. All of the other mundane action items have a way of checking themselves off around it. 🙂
-
Who are YOU serving today?🤔
-
Please comment below or just hold space in your heart for that person or persons today! ❤️

HAPPY MONDAY!
