Ingredients
  

1 cup pure pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

2 large eggs

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or raisins (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, mashed bananas, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, and eggs. Whisk together until fully combined and smooth.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips/raisins at this point.

          Pour and Spread: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Cool and Cut: Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles.

                Serve and Enjoy: These healthy pumpkin banana bars can be served as a snack, breakfast, or a guilt-free dessert! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
