Pumpkin granola bars: whip up these amazing no-bake treats in minutes. Packed with fall flavor, perfect for a healthy and satisfying snack.
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup nut or seed butter of choice (sunflower seed butter, almond butter, cashew butter)
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup mini-chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a food processor or blender, combine the oats, pumpkin puree, nut or seed butter, syrup, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract. Process on low for a few seconds. Scrape sides as needed. Process just until mixed well (note: some of the oats will remain whole).
- Transfer mixture to a bowl. Fold in pecans and chocolate chips.
- Line a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with plastic wrap or parchment paper.
- Transfer mixture to the loaf pan, spread out and press down firmly (very firmly - this is important for bars that hold their shape).
- Place in the freezer for 30 minutes before slicing into 8 bars or 10 squares.
- Bars hold up best if stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
