Pumpkin Butter Bars
These pumpkin bars are stunning. This fall inspired treat will become a favorite.
The sweet aroma of cinnamon and pumpkin wafted through the kitchen during the baking time. These yummy bars are also healthy.
They are also nutritious with the addition of oats, pecan and coconut oil.
I loved those pumpkin bars. …and how I wanted to make them again.
If you don’t have homemade pumpkin butter, you can use store-bought! Trader Joe’s and William Sonoma have a good one!
Pumpkin Butter is easy to make and the flavor is amazing!

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
- In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, process oats, pecans, salt, and spices until finely ground. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the brown sugar and the melted coconut oil. Mix gently until the mixture comes together.
