Pumpkin Granola Bars

Submitted by: SKINNY1DAY

The pumpkin and control over the ingredients makes this really nutritious for you--no processed bars from a box!



Ingredients

    3/4 cup canned pumpkin
    1 egg
    1/4 cup butter at room temperature
    1/4 cup honey
    2 tbsp molasses
    2 cup rolled oats
    1/2 cup sunflower seeds
    1/2 cup chopped walnuts
    2 tbsp shredded, unsweetened coconut
    1/4 cup wheat germ
    1/2 tsp ground cinnamon


Directions

Blend the pumpkin, egg, butter, honey, and molasses in a mixing bowl or food processor.
Add the oats, sunflower seeds, nuts, coconut, wheat germ, and cinnamon, mix well.
Spread this mixture into a lightly greased 15 1/2-by-10 1/2-inch jelly-roll pan.
Bake in a 350*F oven for 40 minutes or until golden brown. While still warm, cut into 3-by-1 1/2-inch bars.
For very crisp bars, remove from pan to wire rack and cool completely.
Makes about 30 bars.

Very Good 		I love these! Yummy--I think I wanted some healthy baked goods! I added just a few raisins--craisins would be great, too. This is something you could enjoy tweaking, and it would be good, and different each time!

I'd substitute apple sauce for some of the butter, splenda for the honey, and I'd have a great snack for my diabetic father in law. He loves nutty, healthy stuff!

Incredible! 		We love this recipe and found that the sweetness is just right as is. I make them in a 9x9 pan so that they are thicker and adjust the size accordingly. Thank you for sharing! (I did add 1/2 tsp vanilla, but did not change anything else.)

Bad 		Not sure what happened but they didn't turn out well for me. Very bland, and didn't quite fill the jelly roll pan I used - If you make these, watch them closely and use a smaller pan?

I'm looking forward to trying these. My 2 yr old has never had the store bought ones due to her dairy allergy , so I am hoping to sub her margarine for the butter and get her used to healthy snacks.

I'm going to try this asap. It sounds wonderful and I love pumpkin. My only concern is that the fat calories in it sound a bit high.

I will try these but would add pumpkin pie spice in place of the cinnamon and a teaspoon or so of ginger.

Very Good 		I loved it and so did my hubby, who can't start the day without some kind of breakfast bar!

He enjoyed the substitution of these for those processed sugary-sweet ones that cost $1.50 each!

Incredible! 		These are so yummy! Not sure how small yours (30 servings?). Mine made 24 servings, which were still pretty small. Will definitely make them again, since I don't think they're going to last long.

These ended up in the compost. :( Peanuts might work better than walnuts? Raisins could be good. I likely won't try them again.

O.K. 		I used a cooked apple (peel, chop and microwave for 1 min on high), raisins (rinsed in warm water) and sliced almonds, but no coconut. In lieu of molasses I had no-sugar Syrup by ED Smith and fresh Ontario honey. Next time I would make it in a 9x9 pan instead and only bake it for 30 mins.

Very Good 		I just made these. I like them. I used the suggestion of pumpkin pie spice (3/4 tsp) and I used pecans instead of walnuts because that is what I had. Used a ruler to cut and it only makes 24 bars. You have to remember that these are granola bars not cookies and they taste healthy. Great snack!

I'm going to try this one, I'm always looking for a better snack idea than the full of sugar snacks when I'm looking for something sweet, and my family like having the bars to eat for a quick something to eat on the run.

Good 		Made this mostly as is but with a few changes to try to add the "something missing" of other reviews. Doubled the honey to 1/2 C, added 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg 1/4 C ground flaxseed, and an additional 1/2 C of oats. Left out coconut. It is good, but not great.
