Pumpkin Coconut Chocolate Chip Bars

And……the pumpkin fun continues with a healthy pumpkin bar recipe. I adapted this recipe from one I found on FitSugar. These bars can easily be made vegan by using an egg substitute and dairy free chocolate chips. Of course, I couldn’t wait for the bars to cool before I sampled them, and I wasn’t disappointed. They were bursting with a wonderful blend of pumpkin, chocolate, and coconut flavors. What a delicious combination!!
