Instructions

Line a 9-inch x 6-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Slightly oil the pan. Set it aside.
In a mixing bowl, stir peanut butter, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Stir in oat flour and pumpkin spices until a sticky, consistent batter forms.
Press the dough in a even layer, into the prepared pan. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, add chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each until fully melted.
Pour the melted chocolate on top of the bar, freeze for 15 minutes until the chocolate layer is hard, and set.
Use a long sharp knife to slice the bar into 8 squares.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes

Note 1: I am using canned pumpkin puree, which you can also make yourself with my Pumpkin Puree. This is not the same as canned pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin puree is made only with pumpkin with no added sugar.

Note 2: Any nut butter can be used, like almond butter or cashew butter. Nut-free options include tahini or sunflower seed butter.

Note 3: Any liquid sweetener works, like agave syrup, coconut nectar, or sugar-free liquid sweeteners.

Note 4: If you can't find pumpkin pie spices, simply use equal amounts of ground cinnamon and ground ginger.

Note 5: To make oat flour, blend 1 cup of rolled oats into a fine powder. Almond flour won't work. The dough would be too soft and sticky, and you will need something else, like a few tablespoons of coconut flour or some oat flour to firm up the bars.
