Obsession-Worthy No Bake Pumpkin Spice Cookie Dough Bars

Jump to Recipe

when i say these no bake pumpkin cookie dough bars are going to be your favorite fall treat, i mean it.

they’re layered, they’re decadent, and they somehow manage to be both indulgent and nourishing at the same time.

taste + texture

the bottom layer is a fudgy chocolate base sweetened naturally with medjool dates and balanced with cocoa powder and almond butter.

it’s rich and brownie-like, the perfect foundation for the creamy pumpkin cookie dough layer.

the filling is thick, smooth, and cozy with pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin puree, and melty chocolate chips throughout.

finally, everything is sealed with a glossy chocolate topping that cracks just right when you take a bite.

organic coconut cream

a big reason these bars have such a luscious, bakery-style texture is thanks to edward & sons native forest organic coconut cream.

unlike many brands, this coconut cream has no gums and no fillers — just pure coconut.

it makes both the chocolate base and pumpkin cookie dough layer extra silky and satisfying.

amazing ingredients

every ingredient here is intentionally chosen.

you’ve got almond flour, oat flour, flax meal, medjool dates, almond butter, pumpkin puree, and maple syrup.

these are whole-food, nutrient-dense ingredients that make dessert taste incredible while still being gluten free, dairy free, and better-for-you.

the mix of healthy fats, fiber, and natural sweetness creates a treat that doesn’t feel heavy but still tastes super indulgent.

substitution options

  • if you don’t have almond butter, cashew butter or peanut butter will work.
  • oat flour can be swapped with more almond flour, though the texture will be slightly softer.
  • maple syrup can be subbed with honey if you don’t need vegan.
  • for the chocolate topping, you can use any dairy-free chocolate chips you love, or go with a thinner layer if you prefer a lighter version.

storage

keep these bars in the fridge for up to one week in an airtight container, or freeze for up to two months.

if frozen, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying so the filling softens.
