Vegan Pumpkin Bars Recipe
Looking for a tasty, seasonal snack that also happens to be healthy and vegan?! Well, I've got you covered! This Vegan Pumpkin Bar recipe is the perfect fall-themed snack to munch on when you get hungry between meals and you're craving pumpkin. It's like pumpkin pie but in bar form! Making it the perfect on-the-go treat.
The bars feature a vegan shortbread crust with a creamy pumpkin filling made with pumpkin, coconut condensed milk, protein, coconut sugar, and cinnamon. And while store-bought pumpkin bars are packed with sugar, my recipe uses monk fruit sweetener instead!

Recipe Modifications
Baking is a bit more precise than making shakes, so I tend to follow the recipe more rigidly to ensure I get the ratios of the ingredients correct. However, you can still toss in or swap out ingredients to suit your own taste preferences!
Below are some alternatives you can try incorporating…
- Add nuts for crunch and more healthy fats
- If you're not vegan you can swap out the coconut and cashew milk for cow milk
- Use almond milk instead of coconut
- Add some cacao nibs for chocolate chip texture
- Dash of nutmeg and clove for more “spiced” flavor
