Pumpkin Pie Breakfast Bars
These easy pumpkin bars are loaded with fall flavor from creamy pumpkin and fall spices, all nestled in a crunchy granola crust. Yum!
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cup granola
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- 15 oz pumpkin canned, puree
- 2 egg lightly beaten
- 1 cup reduced-fat milk
- ⅔ cup yogurt plain, Greek
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or oil. Pulse the granola in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. (If you don’t have a food processor, you can put the granola in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush it.) Stir in the coconut oil and press the granola crumbs into the bottom of the baking dish. (It will be a little more crumbly than a typical crust—don’t worry, it will hold together after baking!)
- Stir together the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Pour the pumpkin mixture over the granola crust. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until pumpkin mixture is set.
- Allow the bars to cool, then cut them into 8-12 bars.
Notes
- I used a vanilla almond granola, but anything that goes with pumpkin would work.
