Are you also putting pumpkin spice on everything this fall? Well, don’t stop now. These no-bake granola bars are full of pumpkin flavor, and without the hassle of baking, are a simple, delicious, and healthier way to get your daily dosage of pumpkin spice at about 300 calories each.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups oatmeal
• 1 cup chopped almonds
• 1/2 a cup pumpkin seeds
• 1/2 a cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tbsp pumpkin spice seasoning

Instructions

1. Pour in your oatmeal, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds and coconut flakes into an 8×8 baking dish.
2. Then, combine the peanut butter and maple syrup in a microwave-safe dish and heat for about 1 minute (if you use organic peanut butter I would heat for 1:30). When it’s a liquid consistency pour on top of the oatmeal mixture, and stir together with a spoon.
3. If the mixture is thick, add a little water to soften it up.
4. Flatten down into the dish, cover the top, and let sit in the refrigerator for about 5 hours.
5. Lastly, cut into any size you desire, and enjoy!
