Pumpkin Bars

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp flax seeds
  • 1 heaping tbsp raisins
  • 1 tbsp whole or chopped pepitas

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

In a medium-sized bowl, combined all ingredients and stir well. It will be a thick consistency that holds its shape.

Spray a small pan or muffin tin lightly with non-stick spray. Spread the batter evenly to a depth of about 1/2 an inch. If the pan is too large, use foil to create a dam to prevent it from spreading. It will rise a small amount during baking.

Bake for about 18 minutes. A deeper layer in a loaf pan may require a longer baking time. Poke the center with a toothpick to check for done-ness. Let cool before cutting into squares.
