November 13, 2014 by Ceara 119 Comments

chocolate chunk pumpkin banana bars

Is it okay if I share a couple more pumpkin recipes with you this season? Honestly, there have been sooo many good pumpkin recipes floating around it’s hard to know where to start.

And things have gotten pretty pumpkin craazzayy around here this Fall. I mean, I’ve been putting pumpkin in almost everything we eat. From pancakes, to brownies, to bread, to a mac and cheese recipe I can’t wait to share next week. #swoon

pumpkin and banana

The combination of pumpkin and banana goes without saying. Two of my favourite things to bake with combined in one chocolate-filled, chewy and soft Chocolate Chunk Pumpkin Banana bar.

And I love a good pumpkin bar. A hearty bar full of wholesome and healthy ingredients that I can bring along with me to work or school or grab as a quick and nutritious breakfast on-the-go. What’s your favorite snack for when you’re on the move?

If I am going to make a bar for snacking it better be healthy. Something nutrtious that will not only fill me up until my next meal but also be filled with good-for-you and tasty ingredients. And this Chocolate Chunk Pumpkin Banana Bar fits the bill. Filled with hearty oats, heart-healthy almonds, nutrient-packed pumpkin and banana and some dark chocolate chunks for good measure. 🙂

Author: Ceara
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 12
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 banana
  • ½ cup brown cane sugar*
  • 1 tbsp melted coconut oil or olive oil*
  • 1½ tbsp maple syrup or honey*
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar*
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp ground flax seeds
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1½ tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp ground ginger, ½ tsp nutmeg
  • 1½ cups oats (or scant 1½ cups oat flour)
  • 1 cup almond flour/meal
Mix-Ins
  • ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp chopped dark chocolate chunks or semisweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cups oats
Directions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 375F or 180F. Grease a square baking pan with coconut oil or non stick spray.
  2. Blend the oats until a fine flour forms (using a blender or an immersion blender).
  3. Add the pumpkin and banana to a large mixing bowl. Blend or mash the pumpkin and the banana together.
  4. Add the rest of the wet ingredients to the large bowl. Whisk them together until they are fluffy and fully combined.
  5. Whisk and add the seeds, baking powder, sea salt and spices, one by one, to the wet ingredients in the large bowl. Fold in the oat flour and almond meal until a thick and fully combined batter is formed.
  6. Fold in the oats and chocolate chunks (1/3 cup) to the batter until the oats and chocolate are evenly dispersed.
  7. Pour the batter into the pan. Smooth out the top with the back of a spoon and sprinkle the extra tbsp of chocolate chunks on top.
  8. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes until the bars begin to golden and a toothpick inserted in the bars comes out almost clear.
  9. Leave the bars to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  10. Store the cooled bars in a sealed container in the freezer for a couple of weeks or in a sealed container for up to 4 days in the fridge. Enjoy!
Notes
* Substitute brown cane sugar with light brown sugar (Note: this recipe will no longer be refined sugar free)
* For an oil-free option use 1 tbsp more pumpkin puree
* Substitute apple cider vinegar with freshly squeeze lemon juice or white vinegar.
* Ensure that all your products are certified gluten-free if necessary (oats, baking powder, almond meal)
* Honey is not for strict vegans

          Yes!! I actually use homemade pumpkin puree in all my recipes because the regular canned stuff is not sold where I live (in Belgium). So feel free to use your own! I used to have a tutorial on making pumpkin puree at home but removed the post because I’ve since changed my method. I use sugar pumpkins and cut them in half lengthwise. I remove all the seeds and stringy parts inside the pumpkin and roast them at 400F on a baking sheet *face down* until they are soft inside. I then puree the insides of the pumpkin in my food processor. Hope this helps 🙂

    Greetings from the Niagara Falls area! I can never get enough pumpkin recipes. They are so good. I’m new to just how good the pumpkin/chocolate combo is – Loving it!! Such a thrill for the mouth. I love how these are flour free but also can be made oil free, something I avoid when I can. Such a yummy, yet healthy snack for that afternoon slump =)

    Thick.
    Chewy.
    Moist.
    Soft.
    Hearty.
    Ooey-Gooey.

    I would think… You were describing something else! 😉

    Are there tons of pumpkins in Belgium or do you use canned pumpkin puree? I remember that it was difficult to find pumpkins in Europe back then. It’s totally OK to share tons of pumpkin recipes, hehe, I’ve been eating pumpkin-based dishes twice a week! Oh golly, these banana bars are lovely – I love these melty chocolate chunks, pumpkin spice you incorporated and the banana for the moist texture!

      There are tons of sugar pumpkins here (the tiny ones!) and I roast them and make homemade pumpkin puree 🙂 There is not canned pumpkin puree at all here so I’ve taken to making my own 🙂 Thanks for the kind words, Rika! 🙂

    I’m so embarrassed about how little pumpkin I’ve been eating this season! When does pumpkin season end?! I hope not after Thanksgiving, or else I really need to get on it! I’ve never had pumpkin and banana together, but I bet it is amazing and chocolate chunks make everything better 🙂 This is such a great recipe, Ceara!

    My girls absolutely love the combination of pumpkin and chocolate and make a favorite muffin using them. But, I love the healthy subs here. Perhaps I can persuade them to swap out their muffin recipe for this and give it a go! Wish me luck!
