Hot Tip for homemade granola bars:

Make sure you push the oat mixture firmly into the pan. You want to pack it tight to make sure there are not any air gaps, otherwise, it will crumble.

The pumpkin pie spice gives it a rich, fall flavor, that goes amazing with your morning coffee.

If you don't have pumpkin spice, it's simply a combination of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, all spice, cloves, and ginger.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking pan (I used a glass loaf pan) with parchment paper or rub down with coconut oil. Set aside.
Place half of the rolled oats in the glass of a blender and pulse until you have a ground meal. Pour into a bowl.
Add the rest of the rolled oats, coconut sugar, and pumpkin spice and mix until well incorporated.
Mix in butter/coconut oil and pumpkin puree, it should resemble coarse sand and stick together when pressed.
Press the mix into prepared pan with the back of a spoon, making sure it's packed in tight.
Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool for ten minutes. Run a knife along the edges, then flip onto a cutting board. Let cool completely and slice into bars.

I love this idea! Is it okay to use regular sugar and oil?
Thank you.
