1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup natural creamy almond butter
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 large egg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8×8-inch metal baking pan with parchment paper. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, almond butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract.
Add the oats, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Stir until combined.
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Top with remaining chocolate chips.
