• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 cup pumpkin puree

• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment/Utensils Required:

• 8×8-inch square baking pan
• Parchment paper

Preparation Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch square baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
2. Prepare the Crust:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix until well combined.
   • Add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
3. Make the Pumpkin Pie Filling:
   • In another mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
4. Assemble the Pumpkin Pie Bars:
   • Pour the pumpkin pie filling over the crust in the baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
5. Bake the Bars:
   • Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are golden brown.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Remove the pumpkin pie bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan.
   • Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan and onto a cutting board.
   • Cut into squares and serve.
