    2. In a mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients: oats, seeds, cereal, peanuts, flour, baking soda, and brown sugar. Mix well, then add the oil, honey, and water.

    3. Scoop mixture into the pan and use a sheet of waxed paper to press down into a uniform layer about 3/4 inch thick. Use aluminum foil to build a barrier- but the mixture should not spread.

    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.
