1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 8x11 or 9 inch baking pan
with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Make oat flour- Place oatmeal into blender or food processor and
blend for 1-2 minutes until oatmeal resembles flour. You may need
to stop blender and stir oats a couple of times to ensure that all
oats have been blended.
3. Measure out just 2 1/2 cups of the oat flour and place in a
medium bowl. Whisk in baking powder, baking soda, salt and
spices; set aside.
4. In a separate large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, brown sugar,
vanilla extract, oil, and applesauce for 1-2 minutes until the
consistency is smooth and creamy. Slowly add in oat flour mixture
and mix until just combined.
5. Gently fold in 1/3 cup of chocolate chips. Pour batter into
prepared pan and sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons of chocolate
chips on top.
6. Bake for 15-25 minutes or until knife inserted into center comes
out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. Timing will depend on
what size pan you use, but definitely check around 15 minutes.
Once finished baking, cool 10 minutes on wire rack. Cut into 16
slices.
