Pumpkin Oatmeal Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and 8x8-inch baking pan.
• Stir oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, and kosher salt together in a bowl; make a well in the center. Pour half-and-half, egg, and vanilla extract into well in the center of the oat mixture; stir to combine. Add pumpkin to half-and-half oat mixture and mix thoroughly. Pour pumpkin batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x11-inch pan with cooking spray.
• Combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and eggs in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
• Mix together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a separate bowl. Slowly add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture until combined. Stir in oats and raisins. Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a fork inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely, then slice into 20 bars.

Steps:

• In large saucepan over high heat, combine the pumpkin puree, water, milk, raisins, salt, and pumpkin pie spice (alternative spices). Bring to a boil.
• Add the oatmeal. Turn the heat down and cook according to your oatmeal instructions; mine usually takes about 15 minutes. Stir often.
• Meanwhile, in a small cast iron skillet over medium heat, toast the pepitas until they're fragrant and a gentle golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• Once the oatmeal is cooked (each grain should be tender), serve with honey or maple sugar on the side, pepitas to sprinkle on top, and cream if people like it more like porridge.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine cake mix and oats; set aside 1/2 cup for topping. Add the butter, honey and water to the remaining cake mixture. Press onto the bottom of a 13x9-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray., For filling, in a large bowl, beat the pumpkin, cream cheese, milk, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, allspice and cloves until blended. Add egg and egg white; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour over crust. In a small bowl, combine the walnuts, butter and reserved cake mixture; sprinkle over filling., Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until set and edges are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8x11, or two 9 inch round, baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Make oat flour: Place oatmeal in blender or food processor and blend for 1-2 minutes until oatmeal resembles coarse flour. You may need to stop blender and stir oats a couple of times to ensure that all oats have been blended. NOTE: oats are measured before you processes them.
• In a large bowl mix oats, brown sugar, salt, spices, baking powder, and baking soda. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the pumpkin, apple sauce, oil, and vanilla. Combine until mixed well. NOTE: the batter should be looser than cookie dough but thicker than cake batter. If your batter is too thick add a little water 1/4 cup at a time until it looks right.
• Gently fold in chocolate chips, raisins, and/or nuts.
• Pour batter into prepared pans and gently smooth top. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until knife inserted into center comes out clean. Timing will depend on what size pan you use, but definitely check around 30 minutes.
• Once out of the oven drizzle the top with maple syrup (optional). It soaks in so they wont be super sticky.
• NOTES:.
• You can use "old fashioned" or "quick" rolled oats. Use Gluten-free oats only if you want to avoid gluten.
• Try white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, cinnamon chips, or even butterscotch chips.
• On occasion I've substituted part of the oats with granola cereal (processed into flour) with good results.
• Next I want to experiment with using pureed butternut or zucchini squash in place of the pumpkin because pumpkin is more difficult to find outside the holidays.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13 x 9 x 2 baking dish. Beat margarine and sugar until fluffy.
