Are these Healthy No Bake Pumpkin Oat Bars With White Chocolate Vegan?
Yes! The base of these oat bars is naturally vegan & the full recipe can easily be made vegan by using a vegan white chocolate for the topping. If you can’t find a vegan white chocolate you can also use your favourite vegan regular chocolate in place of the white chocolate & they will still be just as delicious!

Yes! I made these gluten-free by using certified gluten-free oats. If you are gluten-intolerant you want to make sure to get certified gluten-free oats for recipes, these are the ones I used.

Yes! While I used peanut butter in these bars you can easily make them with a seed butter like sunflower seed butter for a delicious nut-free option, perfect for school or work!
Ingredients you will need for these Healthy No Bake Pumpkin Oat Bars With White Chocolate
Healthy No Bake Pumpkin Oat Bars
- pumpkin puree
- nut or seed butter of choice (I used all natural peanut butter)
- coconut oil, melted
- pumpkin spice
- cinnamon
- pink salt
- vanilla extract
- coconut sugar
- honey or maple syrup
- rolled oats (make sure they are certified gluten-free to keep this recipe gluten-free if needed)

How to make these Healthy No Bake Pumpkin Oat Bars With White Chocolate
You are simply going to mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl for the pumpkin oat bars. Once everything is mixed together well you are going to spread it into a parchment paper lined baking & place in the freezer while you make the white chocolate topping.
You can either melt the white chocolate & coconut oil in the microwave for about 15-30 seconds & then mix well or you can heat it over low heat in a small pot until melted.
Spread the melted chocolate over the slightly chilled bars & place them back in the freezer until they were firm. Mine were set in about an hour. Once firm, remove from the pan & slice into bars. I got 8 bars from mine but depending on the size of your pan & how big or small you make your bars you may get slightly more or less.
How to store these Healthy No Bake Pumpkin Oat Bars With White Chocolate
I like to store these in the fridge as they are perfectly soft once removed but you can also store them in the freezer you may just have to let them slightly warm to room temp for a few minutes if they are too hard right away. I store my bars in an air-sealed container or a baggie.

Awh thank you so much sweet girl!! They are such a fun fall treat! 🙂
My whole family loved these! I didn’t have coconut sugar so I used white sugar and no pumpkin spice, but they were still delicious. I kept them in the freezer and they reminded me of an ice cream sandwich. It will be a regular recipe in our house!
Awh Meaghan! This is the best news, I am SO happy to hear they were such a hit! Thanks for sharing those subs & also LOVE the idea of freezing them to be like an ice cream sandwich- that is GENIUS!
