Hi everyone! Amanda here from Old House to New Home, sharing my final fall recipe of the season. These Pumpkin Granola Bars are super easy, which is a necessity for any baking recipe that I make! What I love about this recipe is that it isn’t the traditional pumpkin dessert recipe. This recipe is more of a snack, that can be eaten after school or for breakfast, without the guilt!

Easy Homemade Pumpkin Snack Bars

Have you eaten a lot of delicious pumpkin treats yet this fall? Pumpkin has a few more weeks to shine before it is time for peppermint to take over! I love pumpkin in all forms, but I usually stick to the typical desserts. I don’t know why I never thought to make a bar like this before! It makes it acceptable to eat pumpkin at all times of the day!
