1. In a large bowl, mix together wet ingredients (pumpkin, peanut butter and maple syrup).
2. To the bowl, add dry ingredients (oat flour, protein powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt).
3. Combine all ingredients until a dough forms (you may need to get your hands dirty to ensure dough is fully mixed).
4. Once combined, press protein dough mixture into a parchment paper lined 8x8 square baking pan. Note: the harder you pack down your dough the more likely the bars will be to stick together!
5. If using chocolate coating- melt your chocolate chips with coconut oil in a double boiler over low heat, OR place in a microwave safe bowl and melt in increments of 30 seconds, stirring between.
6. Drizzle or spread chocolate over the dough. Freeze until the chocolate hardens or the dough sets (about 2 hours). Cut into 12 equal sized bars and store in the freezer.
