A great way to start your morning on-the-go! Grab some Healthy Maple Pumpkin Oatmeal Breakfast Bars and hit the road. Packed with fiber and protein, they keep you satisfied.

Homemade Breakfast Bars

Homemade maple pumpkin oatmeal breakfast bars are really the easiest thing ever! I choose a veggie, add oats, flax, and a little flavor (vanilla, cinnamon, etc) and bake it all together!

Breakfast bars are an ESSENTIAL part of any busy mom's morning. I think it's just a fact that mom's have to carry around power bars in their diaper bags!

It's basically a soft pillowy granola bar and this one is packed with pumpkin. Perfect as we transition into fall, you can't really even notice the taste of pumpkin until we really amp it up with a dash of pumpkin spice.

Can You Freeze Pumpkin Breakfast Bars?

YES! I encourage you to freeze these Pumpkin Oatmeal Breakfast Bars. Since they do have pumpkin in them, they are soft and moist. They can go bad very quickly if left on the counter.

So I suggest freezing them for maximum enjoyment. It only takes about 10-15 seconds in the microwave to warm them back up and enjoy with your morning hot cup of coffee or Dalgona Whipped Espresso!

More freezable breakfast ideas for on-the-go mornings include:

  • Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies
  • Pumpkin Carrot Cake
  • Raspberry White Chocolate Scones
  • Molasses Pumpkin Muffins
  • Peanut Butter Protein Energy Bites

Notes About Baking With Pumpkin Puree

So pumpkin puree by itself is basically flavorless. Sad but true. So that is where the ever popular pumpkin spice comes in!

By adding these warming spices to the pumpkin breakfast bars it really amps up the naturally sweet nature of the puree. We deepen this even further by adding rich maple syrup to these bars.

Pumpkin spice mixture usually includes cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove,

So while you can definitely substitute pumpkin spice with cinnamon you don't want to skip "spicing" it up all together. Or you'll end up with a sad flavorless maple pumpkin oatmeal breakfast bars.

    This is a great, easy and delicious bar to make and have on hand. I freeze them and bring them along as a snack at work. No need for the glaze, they are delicious on their own!
