Pumpkin Nutella Cookie Bars: A Decadent Fall Treat with Swirled Chocolate-Hazelnut Goodness


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

For the bars:
• 1 cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup almond butter (or sunflower butter)
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp salt

For the swirl:
• 1/4 cup Nutella (or dairy-free chocolate-hazelnut spread)
• 1 tbsp almond milk (if needed, to thin spread)


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. Add almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until well combined.
  4. In a small bowl, warm Nutella with a splash of almond milk to make it drizzle-friendly.
  5. Pour batter into the pan and smooth the top. Drizzle Nutella over the batter.
  6. Use a knife to gently swirl the Nutella into the pumpkin base—don’t overmix!
  7. Bake 20–22 minutes, until edges are golden and center is set.
  8. Let cool completely before slicing into 9 bars.
