Preheat your oven to 350º, line a large baking sheet with parchment and a 9"x13" baking pan with parchment, hanging the paper over the edges.
Spread the oats over the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl combine the baked oats, flax meal, cinnamon, ginger and salt.
In a sauce pan add the pumpkin, honey, coconut oil and sugar and bring to a boil over medium heat, cook for one minute.
Pour the pumpkin mixture over the oat mixture and stir to combine, set aside and cool 30-45 minutes, or be impatient like me and throw it in the freezer for 15.
Stir in the chocolate chips and press the mixture into the 9"x13" pan, bake for 20-25 minutes.
Cool completely, cut into bars and serve.
