I'd say that I make this recipe every few weeks. It is honestly so easy to make, and it's probably way cheaper than buying a box of granola bars from the store.
These granola bars are flavorful, dense, and are perfect as a grab-and-go breakfast or a quick snack. They also freeze really well, so you never have to worry about them going bad.
adapted from Two Peas And Their Pod
3 1/4 cups old fashioned oats
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips
Stir together oats, spices, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar, pumpkin puree, applesauce, honey, and vanilla. Add the pumpkin mixture to the oats and stir to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. Fill with the oat mixture. Press it down until it is firmly packed to ensure the bars don't break apart once cut.
Bake on 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes, until firm to the touch. Allow to cool completely, and then cut into 9 even pieces.
