Why Cookie Bars?

These are different than your typical pumpkin dessert. They are a perfect cross between a cookie and a cake. Another amazing feature of these bars is that they are lower in fat than a typical cookie bar due to the pumpkin. This also makes them less expensive, as you don’t need to use as much vegan butter.

How to Make Pumpkin Cookie Bars

• Place all of your wet ingredients into a bowl and mix.
• Next, add your dry ingredients to the bowl and mix everything together.
• Finally, fold in your chocolate chips.

• Place into an 8×8 pan and bake for 30 minutes at 350!

Substitutions and Modifications

• Vegan butter- You can eliminate the vegan butter by replacing it with equal parts neutral oil. If you want to eliminate the oil entirely, you can replace the butter with 1/2 cup applesauce. This will make these cookie bars into more of a cake texture, but will still be delicious. Additionally, if you want to eliminate the oil you can add another 1/2 cup of pumpkin, which would be delicious as well.
• Chocolate chips-You can eliminate the chocolate chips or replace them with something else, such as vegan white chocolate chips or even Oreos.
