On a scale of 1 to 100…how annoyed are you of pumpkin recipes?
Don’t answer that. You have probably have had pumpkin thrown in your face for the last month or so. And unfortunately the end isn’t in sight. So let’s all sit back and welcome it with open arms!
Don’t get me wrong, I do love pumpkin but dash of it here, tad bit there is where I draw the line. My latest obsession, beyond these pumpkin spice rice krispies complete with a brown butter glaze, is a spoonful of spice in my granola bars.
Now granola bars with pumpkin I can handle one or twelve of; I need those snacks in my life! Because around here it is everyone man for themselves. It is not my fault that the Mr doesn’t snoop through the fridge or panty for snacks. For once, perks of managing the kitchen.
On Sunday, I was making another batch of these granola bars but wanted to add a fall flair to them. With a pinch of pumpkin spice, vanilla yogurt chips and pumpkin puree, the creme de la creme of snacks was born. Cream of the crop. Pure perfection. I loved them so much that I felt like someone who hasn’t ate in days, shoving all the straggler crumbs into my mouth as I cut the bars into perfect lil portions.
The bites and pieces that fall helplessly as you cut the edges of brownies, cakes and bars is one the of top reasons I sign up for making our treats…a snack before the snack. Don’t judge.
These pumpkin pie granola bars are warm from the cinnamon, sweet from the maple and 100% full on pumpkin!
