1 ¾ cups white whole wheat flour
2 cups old fashioned oats
½ cup flaxseed ground
¾ cup brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon

2 large eggs
½ cup coconut oil measured in melted state
¾ cup milk I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray 9x13" baking dish with cooking spray.
In large bowl combine flour, oats, flax, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
Stir well to combine.
In medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, coconut oil, milk, and vanilla.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Pour into prepared baking dish and bake in preheated oven for 38-42 minutes, until slightly golden and toothpick comes out clean from the middle.
Let cool completely.
Cut into bars and enjoy!

Notes

Storage - you can store these in the baking pan covered with plastic wrap, or cut into squares and store in an airtight container in the fridge or counter. These will last about a week in the fridge and 4-5 days on the countertop.

Grease the Pan - be sure to grease the baking pan well so these bars do not stick.

Let them cool completely before slicing – they’ll hold together better and develop a chewier texture.
