Morning Fiber-Filled Pumpkin Bars

These pumpkin breakfast bars feel like the perfect fall (and honestly year-round) ritual. They have that warm, cozy feeling that makes mornings feel a little softer, without relying on anything overly sugary or processed. And because you bake a batch once and keep them in the fridge for the week, they make those first few minutes of the day feel calm and intentional instead of rushed.

Pumpkin itself is such a naturally nutrient-dense food. It’s packed with gentle fiber and has a naturally creamy consistency that makes baked goods tender without a lot of added fat. Flax seeds bring their own plant-based richness and are known for being a great source of fiber too, which supports that balanced, satisfied feeling that helps carry you through a morning. And chia seeds become gel-like when hydrated, which brings a really pleasant, slightly chewy texture to the bars while also adding even more plant-based fiber in a way that feels light and natural.

So, making these fiber-filled pumpkin bars isn’t just about a fall flavor moment, it’s about easy nourishment you can literally grab on your way out the door. They taste like soft pumpkin bread with a hint of spice, but they’re sturdy enough to cut, pack, and eat anywhere. Whether you enjoy them warm with a little nut butter or chilled straight from the fridge, they keep breakfast simple, seasonal, and supportive of a more balanced start to the day.

These bars are super quick and easy to make. Start by combining your wet ingredients. This includes pumpkin puree, eggs, milk (or milk substitute), maple syrup and vanilla. Stir until it is completely combined and set aside.

Next combine your dry ingredients: oats, ground flax, chia seeds, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and baking powder. Stir that with a fork until evenly combined, and then slowly fold in the wet ingredients until it forms a thick batter. 

Pour this into a parchment-lined baking tray and place in the oven. Allow that to bake until fully cooked through. This will create fragrant, slightly sweet and fiber-filled pumpkin oat bars, perfect for breakfast with some yogurt for more protein or just by themselves as a snack!
