How to Make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups rolled oats, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 cup honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until completely smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry oat mixture and stir well until all oats are evenly moistened.
- Stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Press the oat mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the granola bars are golden brown and set. The pumpkin will keep them moist, so ensure they are fully baked and not undercooked.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the bars into squares while they are still slightly warm.
- Remove the bars from the pan and let them cool completely before serving or storing.
