Pumpkin-Cranberry-Pecan Granola Bars

By Jeannine13

Ingredients

• Ingredients:
• 3 cups regular rolled oats
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup chopped toasted pecans
• 1/2 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. ground cloves (I use 1 tsp. because I’m a clove freak)
• 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup pumpkin puree (homegrown is best!)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.
Spoon into a well-buttered 9x13 baking dish.
Press evenly and firmly with buttered hands (because this stuff is sticky!)
Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes until all golden brown and puffy.
Wait until they are cool to cut.
