Pumpkin Raspberry Oat Bars (Vegan)

Melissa King Healthy Brownies and Bars, Recipes

Pumpkin Raspberry Oat Bars.  Wow these are so good!  The other day, I came across this recipe in the Facebook recipe group I run.

The original recipe has much more oil than I typically use.  It’s also not gluten free.  So I made my Pumpkin Raspberry Oat Bars gluten free with 1/4 of the oil.

I also changed a few other things.  The recipe came out fabulous!  You can custom create your own flavors by changing up the jam.

I used some raspberry chia jam for my filling, but any jam would do well.

Once again this is a recipe I used sorghum flour in.  I like it’s cakey texture and I thought oat flour with rolled oats might be too much oat flavor.

Feel free to use gluten free oat flour if you like.  I am sure it will work great too.   These bars are gluten free and vegan.

If you are not a fan of pumpkin, you could probably use sweet potato or butternut squash puree as well.  Applesauce may be another option for you.

  3. Hi! I am not gluten free, can I use whole wheat flour in place of this flour? Or would I use whole wheat pastry flour? Thanks :)

  5. I make Oatmeal Bars w/ fruit on a regular basis. In fact, I am posting the recipe on my blog soon, but I've never made them with pumpkin. Brilliant! Thanks so much. Pinning to my Pumpkin and Dessert boards so I can make them soon. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe with us, Melissa.

  8. Melissa you've done it again!!!! I did this exact recipe but used all natural raspberry jam instead of making my own (too lazy haha). Love these! They resemble the pop tarts with pumpkin filling. Thanks for sharing!

  9. I made these, but used blackberry chia jam instead since I had blackberries to use up. I followed the recipe exactly, but my bars turned out grainy/gritty and very, very dry. They did not look like the moist picture posted. Do you have any suggestions for why mine turned out not as good as I was hoping? Was I supposed to melt the coconut oil before adding it to the wet ingredients? Should I add more pumpkin? Thanks!

    1. I always measure my coconut oil after melting. I am sorry they didn't turn out for you. :( I an guessing that may be why?

      1. When I make these again, I will melt the coconut oil first! I'm a newbie with using coconut oil in my baking, so I'm learning new things every day. Thanks for the feedback!

          1. I made these again this morning and made sure to melt the coconut oil before measuring and adding to wet ingredients. SUCH a difference! These were fabulous! Thanks again.
  10. Hello Melissa! I was looking for a recipe that would allow me to experiment with my oat flour, leftover pumpkin purée, and the ridiculous supply of raspberries in my refrigerator. I've never used oat flour before, but I'm trying out alternative ingredients to make healthier choices. Speaking of which, I made this recipe with a few substitutions... I added an extra 1/4 cup of pumpkin purée in place of oil 1/2 cup of cinnamon applesauce in place of two eggs 1 1/2 cup oat flour 1 1/2 cup of fresh berries (raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries) Pumpkin pie filling in exchange for pumpkin purée -- I had extra pumpkin pie filling and I didn't want it to go to waste. Squeezed 1/2 lemon for juice I baked it in a circular pan and cut it into around 10-12 slices and froze them after they cooled. The oats + oat flour add for a subtle sweetness (albeit denser) finished product but it tastes great the following day! Loved your recipe and I will be pinning it!
