Hey friends! Ready to treat yourself to the ultimate cozy Fall snack that’s as wholesome as it is delicious? These Pumpkin Maple Oat Bars are gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and naturally sweetened with maple syrup and coconut sugar, bringing you the best of fall flavors without compromise. Think rich pumpkin spice, a melt-in-your-mouth texture, and the perfect touch of chocolate.
But here’s where it gets even better: these bars are made with an extra ingredient that’s not only unique but great for your gut. Intrigued?
What Makes These Bars Gut-Friendly?
Here’s where the magic happens—these bars are packed with the spore-based Just Thrive Probiotic! If you’ve never baked with probiotics, you’re in for a treat. Spore-based probiotics are incredibly resilient, which means they survive the baking process, allowing you to enjoy all the gut-health benefits even after they’re cooked. So, if you’re looking for an easy (and tasty) way to get your daily probiotics, this recipe is for you!
What Makes These Bars Special?
These bars come together in one bowl with minimal effort, and each ingredient has something special to offer. From gut-loving probiotics to nutrient-dense ingredients like sprouted oats and almond flour, here’s a quick look at the benefits:
- Pasture-Raised Eggs: High in quality protein and omega-3s, these eggs add fluffiness and keep you satisfied.
- Organic Pumpkin: Packed with fiber, vitamin A, and antioxidants, pumpkin supports immunity and digestion while bringing a natural sweetness and lovely color to the bars.
- Organic Maple Syrup: A natural sweetener with a lower glycemic index than refined sugar, maple syrup adds gentle sweetness and enhances the fall spices.
- Grass-Fed Butter: Rich in healthy fats and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, and K2), grass-fed butter provides a soft texture and boosts nutrient intake.
- Spore-based Just Thrive Probiotic: These heat-stable probiotics survive baking, adding gut-friendly benefits and supporting overall digestion.
- Coconut Sugar: Coconut sugar has a mild caramel flavor and a low glycemic index, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
- Oat Flour & Sprouted Oats: Both provide a chewy texture and fiber, iron, and B vitamins. Sprouted oats are easier to digest and packed with more nutrients than regular oats.
- Pumpkin Spice: A blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves, pumpkin spice not only brings cozy fall flavor but also adds antioxidants.
- Chocolate: Dark chocolate offers a touch of indulgence, bringing antioxidants and enhancing the flavor profile with a hint of sweetness.
- Almond Flour: Almond flour creates a light, fluffy texture while adding protein and healthy fats, making the bars both satisfying and nutrient-dense.
