Autumn is in the air! And with it comes the irresistible aroma of pumpkin spice, making me crave all things pumpkin. Today, I am introducing a super easy, delicious and nutritious treat. Perfect for those busy mornings or an afternoon pick-me-up.
What you need to prepare these incredibly delicious granola bars:
For these granola bars, I used Bob’s Red Mill organic protein oats which have 3 more grams than your regular rolled oats. To keep them simple I added organic pumpkin seeds, cranberries and dairy-free chocolate chips.
For a seasonal touch I used pumpkin spice and pumpkin puree. Feel free to add other fall spices e.g. additional cinnamon.
To keep them refined sugar-free and no-bake I used a mix of maple syrup, almond butter, and coconut oil.
These No-bake Pumpkin Granola Bars are the perfect embodiment of fall flavors without the fuss of baking. They’re not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making them a guilt-free snack. They also pack more protein than your usual granola bar using Bob’s Red Mill Protein Oats which have 3 grams more protein than regular rolled oats.
