Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin purée
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup vegan mini marshmallows
- 3.5 ounces vegan dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup vegan graham crackers, crushed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, melted coconut oil, light brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and cohesive.
- In a separate bowl, blend together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined and no streaks remain.
- Fold half the crushed graham crackers into the dough, distributing evenly.
- Evenly spread half of the cookie dough into the prepared baking pan, pressing gently into the corners.
- Scatter vegan mini marshmallows and chopped vegan dark chocolate evenly over the dough layer.
- Drop spoonfuls of the remaining dough over the marshmallow and chocolate layer. Gently spread to cover most toppings; it is acceptable if some toppings remain visible.
- Sprinkle the remaining crushed graham crackers across the surface.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 28 to 32 minutes or until the surface is golden brown and set.
- Allow bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into portions.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a nuttier flavor, consider adding chopped nuts to the cookie bar mixture.
