Preheat oven to 350F. Grease an 8"x8" pan with a bit of coconut oil. ( I used just a bit of vegan butter.)
Place almond butter, pumpkin, banana, maple syrup, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Stir until well-combined.
Add the rest of the ingredients, stirring until smooth.
Pour into prepared baking dish, smoothing with a spatula. Bake for 30 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
[EXTRA POINTS FOR CREATIVITY]
Use dried cherries, dried cranberries, raisins or currants (soaked first!) as stir-ins instead of (or in addition to) chocolate chips or nuts.
