Source of Recipe


This recipe is adapted from Get the Sugar Out: 501 Simple Ways to Cut the Sugar out of any Diet by Ann Louise Gittleman


List of Ingredients




3/4 c. pumpkin puree
1 egg
1/4 c. butter at room temperature
1/4 c. honey
2 T. molasses
2 c. rolled oats
1/2 c. chopped peanuts, walnuts, or sunflower seeds
2 T. shredded, unsweetened coconut
1/4 c. wheat germ
1/2 t. ground cinnamon
1 T. grated orange rind



Recipe



Blend the pumpkin, egg, butter, honey, and molasses in a mixing bowl or food processor. Add the oats, nuts, coconut, wheat germ, cinnamon, and orange rind, and mix well. Spread this mixture into a lightly greased 15 1/2-by-10 1/2-inch jelly-roll pan. Bake in a 350 oven for 40 minutes or until golden brown. While still warm, cut into 3-by-1 1/2-inch bars. For very crisp bars, remove from pan to wire rack and cool completely.

Yield: about 30 bars.
