Fudgy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars: The Ultimate Fall Dessert You Didn’t Know You Needed


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
• ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
• ¼ cup almond butter (or coconut oil, melted)
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• ½ cup almond flour
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp salt
• ⅔ cup dark chocolate chips (or sugar-free)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix pumpkin, maple syrup, almond butter, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Sift in cocoa powder, then add almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips.
  5. Pour batter into the pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake 22–25 minutes, until edges are set and center is fudgy (a toothpick should come out with moist crumbs).
  7. Let cool completely before slicing—this helps them hold their shape and deepens the fudgy texture!

💡 Store in the fridge for extra-dense, decadent bars. Perfect with a glass of almond milk!
