These yummy Pumpkin Granola Bars are the perfect fall-flavored snack. Deliciously sweet pumpkin is layered between a crumbly oat mixture.
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!
How to Make pumpkin granola bars
These are seriously easy. You make the granola crust and the pumpkin filling. A layer of the oatmeal goes down into the pan, top with the pumpkin filling, and then another layer of crust. Bake until golden brown and you have a super easy snack!
