My husband grabs a homemade pumpkin breakfast bar most mornings, whether on a weekday or the weekend. He loves them.
The taste and texture is very similar to a CLIFF bar, but they have a much fresher taste with fewer ingredients.

- 1 cup pumpkin puree

The original breakfast bars recipe that I created is a chocolate version. Healthy breakfast bar recipes are very versatile and offer a lot of wiggle room with the ingredients. These are chocolate flavored with bananas and peanut butter. You’ll have to give these a try too.

These are super good! I put both pecans and chocolate chips in mine and swapped the normal eggs for flaxseed eggs and it worked pretty well! I should have cooked them just a bit longer, but that’s on me. Thank you for the great recipe! 🙂

How can I substitute the liquid sweetener for trivia (powder form)?
Lora says
I meant to say Truvia not trivia.

I would make a simple syrup. So take the amount of liquid sweetener and dissolve the truvia in water or milk, then add it to the recipe.
