Pumpkin Pistachio & Chocolate Energy Bars
Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- 8x8in Baking Dish
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cup Rolled Oats
- 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Pumpkin Purée
- 1/3 Cup Chopped Pistachios
- 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Peanut or Almond Butter
- 1/3 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
- 1/8 Cup Ground Flaxseeds
- 1/8 Cup Ground Chia Seeds
- 1 Tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- Sea Salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, ground chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Add the pumpkin purée, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until the mixture is fully combined and forms a sticky dough.
- Gently fold in the chopped pistachios and dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the dish and press it down evenly using a spatula to create a smooth, even layer.
- Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until firm. You can also freeze it for about 30 minutes if you're in a hurry.
- Once the mixture is firm, lift it out of the baking dish using the parchment paper. Cut into bars or squares of your desired size.
- Store the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze them for longer shelf life.
