October 29th is National Oatmeal Day! Oatmeal has been my go-to breakfast of choice for quite some time now, with oats + PB + blueberries or sliced banana being my favorite combo. That being said, I do like to change things up every once in a while. That being said, instead of saturating the internet with yet another oatmeal recipe, I decided to create something a little more different, and portable. These Pumpkin Cranberry Breakfast Bars are a fall-infused variation of another favorite snack of mine, my Quinoa Energy Balls. Enjoy! Ingredients2 c. cooked quinoa 1/2 c. whole wheat flour 2 c. oatmeal, dry measure 1 c. almonds, chopped 1 tsp baking powder 1 tbsp chia seeds 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey 2 c. pumpkin puree (Not pumpkin pie puree) 1 tsp vanilla 1 c. dried cranberries (craisins) 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/2 c. pumpkin seeds DirectionsCombine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla and spices and mix thoroughly. In a separate bowl, combine remaining dry ingredients. Mix your dry ingredients into wet ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined. Spread mixture evenly into a 9x 13" baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375 F for 10-15 minutes until golden. Allow to cool before slicing into 2x2" squares (or desired size!)
