Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bar Instructions

Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Ensure your baking dish is ready by lightly coating it with a non-stick baking spray.

Creating the Pumpkin Batter: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, non-dairy milk, vegan butter, baking powder, vanilla, salt, and your choice of sugar. Blend well. For an aromatic touch, stir in pumpkin pie spices. Gradually incorporate the flour, be it regular or gluten-free, into the mix until you achieve a silky batter consistency. For that chocolatey burst, gently fold in the vegan chocolate chips.

Baking: Pour your batter into the prepared baking dish. Position it in the oven and let it bake for 25-30 minutes. A good indicator of its readiness is when a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.

Serving: Once baked to perfection, remove from the oven. Allow it to cool slightly and then slice your treat into 16 delightful squares. Whether you choose to savor them warm or at room temperature, these vegan Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bars promise a mouthful of joy.
