In a large bowl mix oats, spices and salt.  In another bowl mix brown sugar, pumpkin, applesauce, honey and vanilla.  Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients.  Add chocolate chips.  Spread into a greased 8 x 8 pan.  Bake at 350 for 35 minutes.  With a sharp knife cut into bars.  Let cool completely.
