Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Sift in the oat flour, rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, and baking soda, gently folding them into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving some to sprinkle on top.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly and sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top.
  6. Bake for 24-26 minutes until edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before lifting out and slicing.
  8. Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days at room temperature.
