Fall is here so obviously I’m ready for ALL things pumpkin!! I could probably eat pumpkin all year around but there’s something about it when its cooler out that makes pumpkin seasoned with warm spices even better. Of course, I had to mix it in with all my favorite things and make the easiest snack ever! And I think they are about to become one of your favorite pumpkin treats too!!

I can’t stop grabbing these babies from the fridge, they’re great if I fancy a little pick me up mid-afternoon, after a run, or after walking Milo. You might even want to make a double batch as I promise everyone is going to love them as much as I do!

These easy No Bake Pumpkin Bars are super simple, delicious, & an easy grab & go snack for during the week – making them the ultimate make-ahead treat for your weekend meal prep session! You can either make them in a larger dish for proper pumpkin bars (with or without a thick layer of melted chocolate on top!) or make bars or cut them up into “bites.” I’ve done both and love them both equally!

What you need to make these No Bake Pumpkin Bars:

I use Rolled Oats (make sure this is a gluten free brand like Trader Joe’s 100% Whole Grain Oats if this matters to you!), creamy peanut butter (just use your favorite!), runny honey, pumpkin puree (canned unsweetened pumpkin, or you can make your own), chia seeds, flax seed, pumpkin pie spice (pre-made, or you can mix your own!), cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and both mini (to go in the bars) and regular (for the melted chocolate and coconut oil topping) chocolate chips.

Can I sub out the peanut butter?

Yes! Any creamy nut butter will work in this recipe.

What sort of loaf pan should I use?

You can use either an 8×8 inch dish or a regular loaf pan for these. They will be “thicker” if you do a loaf pan like the picture above. An 8×8 inch dish will leave the bars where you can cut into squares. Use whatever you’ve already got unless you own both and have a preference!

No Bake Pumpkin Bars topped with melted chocolate cut into cubes and served in a white bowl.
