Equipment
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup pureed pumpkin
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond butter
- 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 large granny smith apple peeled, cored and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. If you don't have parchment paper, spray the baking dish with cooking spray or grease it with coconut oil.
- Combine the pureed pumpkin, pure maple syrup, and almond butter (the wet ingredients) in a large bowl and mix well until a thick, creamy wet mixture forms.
- Add the rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice and sea salt to the mixing bowl (the dry ingredients) and mix until a thick, sticky dough forms.
- Mix in the chopped apple until it is well-distributed throughout the dough.
- Spread the pumpkin apple oatmeal bar mixture into the prepared baking dish using a rubber spatula and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center tests clean (I do 30 minutes).
- Allow the apple bars to cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.
Notes
Store apple oatmeal pumpkin bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can also freeze the bars in a large zip lock bag or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
