Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Granola Bars

I love pumpkin. I honestly was going to call it quits for awhile, but on Saturday morning I was eating my pumpkin granola for breakfast and an idea popped in my head to make pumpkin chocolate chip granola bars. I quickly got out the pumpkin and started baking. I based the recipe off of my pumpkin granola, but I made a few changes. When the bars were golden brown, I removed them from the oven and let them cool for five minutes. Homemade granola bars are so easy to make, I can’t believe it has taken me this long to try them. I have been getting bombarded with one question lately, “when are you going to post pictures of your new kitchen?”

I love using them to make guacamole, salads, mac and cheese, and sandwiches. I also love using them to bake cookies! I am sure you just said COOKIES??? Out loud. Instead of using butter I used mashed up avocado and coconut oil. Look at that beauty! These Vegan Chocolate Avocado Cookies are crazy good! If you need a chocolate fix, I highly recommend you bake a batch of Vegan Chocolate Avocado Cookies. Chewy Coconut Oatmeal Cookies. Chewy Coconut Oatmeal Cookies I didn’t make any healthy eating resolutions, but since most people do, I have laid off the cookies.

I didn’t want to tempt anyone by posting a cookie recipe. Well, it’s the middle of January and I can’t wait any longer. If you are still going strong on your resolution, ignore me. Or maybe listen because these Chewy Coconut Oatmeal Cookies have NO butter. That’s right, there is no butter in the recipe, only coconut oil. I’ve missed making a baking mess in our kitchen. If you have’t baked with coconut oil before, you are missing out. Back to baking. The cookies are more on the simple side, but in a good way. Until then, make a batch of Chewy Coconut Oatmeal Cookies and enter coconut bliss!

Thank you for your service and sacrifice! Josh and I have the day off today, yippee! We are meeting our good friend Lincoln for lunch and plan on enjoying our day together. I am a firm believer in the theory, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” I eat at least one apple every day. I started with a basic bar dough and added in lots of cinnamon and spices. 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour 2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 2 tsp cinnamon Pinch of fresh nutmeg 1/8 tsp allspice Pinch of ground cloves 1/2 cup butter, melted 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 T vanilla extract 1/2-3/4 cup raisins (you can leave these out or try dried cranberries) 2 apples, cored and diced, I used Granny Smith Cinnamon Sugar mixture to sprinkle on top Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Pumpkin Nutella Bread

On Saturday afternoon, Josh turned on the football games and I started baking. To kick off football and pumpkin season, I made pumpkin Nutella bread. If you like pumpkin chocolate chip bread, I have a feeling you will love pumpkin Nutella bread. I started with a basic pumpkin bread recipe-pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. While the loaves were baking we cheered on our favorite football team and enjoyed the smell of pumpkin that was gently warming the house.
