Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • ¼ maple syrup
  • 3 ½ cup oats
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons flax seed
  • ¼ dried cranberries
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and liberally grease or line a 9” x 9” pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl stir together the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, vanilla and maple syrup.
  • Next add the oats and water. (Because different brands of peanut butters and pumpkin puree can be more wet or dry, if mixture looks a little stiff just add a few teaspoons of water at a time until mixture is loosened)
  • Fold in the shredded coconut, flax seed, cranberries, chocolate chips, cinnamon and pumpkin seeds. All of these inclusions are optional and feel free to nix any or add others.
  • Fill the pan with the mixture and top with any left-over inclusions evenly.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool completely before unpanning and enjoy warm or room temperature.
