Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, gluten-free oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.

Baking

  2. Allow to cool before slicing into bars and serving.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients to help everything blend together nicely. Don’t overmix to maintain a perfect texture. For a twist, consider folding in walnuts or pepitas.
