Equipment
- 1 9x5 Loaf Pan
Ingredients
- 2 bananas medium and extra ripe
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp desiccated coconut
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 356 degrees Fahrenheit (180C) and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
- Add the pumpkin puree, coconut, oats, and pumpkin spice.
- Mix until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and press it firmly with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are slightly golden-brown.
- Remove the pumpkin oatmeal bars from the oven and let them cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing them into bars.
Notes
- I recommend greasing the loaf tin, then adding a piece of parchment paper to easily remove the oatmeal pumpkin bars before slicing.
- For thinner bars, use an 8x8 brownie pan and adjust the baking time.
- If the bars are not cooled enough before cut, they may break apart.
- You may add a little maple syrup or chocolate chips if serving to older toddlers/kids >2 years of age. However, I enjoyed these pumpkin bars as is and they had the perfect amount of sweetness!
