My neighbor Francisco made these the other day and let me have a few to take home. And guess what? They were so stinkin’ good I had to whip up another batch.
These pumpkin chocolate chip bars were a HUGE hit at my house {and we are not even vegan}.
I’m telling you, these pumpkin bars are da’ bomb!
Give them a try, you’ll be so glad you did. 🙂

Heck yeah! I need to go harvest my pumpkins (all two of them) and make these. Forget dinner, these look delicious.
Mavis says
These are super, super good! I had them for dinner too! Ha!

I just cooked up some pumpkin. Now I need to find some chocolate chips and I’ll be set. I LOVE the pumpkin-chocolate combination!
Mavis says
You and your family would really like these!!! 🙂
Teresa A says
Is that a 15 oz or 29 oz can of pumpkin. These sound delicious, I can’t wait to try them.
Stephanie says
I think its just 1 cup of pumpkin if I am reading the recipe correctly 🙂
Teresa A says
oops I read one can not one cup,

These are going to be perfect for dessert for company tomorrow night. I happen to be allergic to dairy and eggs so “vegan” dessert recipes are always on my radar. Thanks for sharing.
Kathleen says
These sound awesome, I have a hungry 7 year old that will devour them!
Lyn says
I just made these today, they are delicious.
Mavis says
They are so stinkin’ moist! I love them too!
Julia says
Wow; this is a dangerous recipe if you have a big tub of pumpkin from last year that needs to go to make room in the freezer for this year’s pumpkin. I’m making my third batch and I’ve eaten most of the last two. I like that the ingredients are simple because I tend not to have luck with the recipes calling for flax seed eggs, etc.
Mavis says
I know! The bars are so stinkin’ moist I couldn’t stop making them either!
Rachel says
I made these last week to use up some pumpkin butter that I was having a hard time finishing. They were delicious bars. Now, I am using the recipe to use up my apple butter! I am using apple butter in place of the pumpkin, apple pie spice in place of the pumkin pie spice and butterscotch chips in place of the chocolate. I have also added in some chopped pecans. Now I am just waiting for the oven to preheat!!!
Karyn says
Are you supposed to add the 3T of water too, or did you not add it in the end?
Mavis says
Yes, add the water in when you add the pumpkin and other ingredients. 🙂
Veronica says
These were great! I made a half batch in an 8×8 glass pan that I sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Mavis Butterfield says
I’m glad you liked them, I’ll tell Francisco. 🙂
melissa says
Yum the batter is so delicious! Can’t wait for these to finish baking since I’ve licked the bowl clean 🙂
Stacy says
Can I substitute coconut oil for the canola oil?
Mavis Butterfield says
I don’t know, try it and let me know, it sounds yummy.
lena says
I always use coconut oil in my vegan baking.It works just fine, melt it:)
Brenda says
Thanks for this recipe. I just made these and they are sooo good!
Nancy D says
Just made these again! These are so easy and delicious! After I pulled these out of the oven, I sprinkled white chocolate chips on top and let them half melt and then gave it a light dusting of cocoa! (for my pumpkin loving son-in-law) Thanks for ANOTHER awesome Mavis recipe!
Julia says
I’ve given out the recipe so many times at work! People are just delighted with these!
Heather says
I love these! I’ve made them for YEARS, please don’t ever take this recipe down, I might actually have to find the MANY copies I’ve printed through the years and constantly lose.
