Yesterday was National Pumpkin Day, so in honor of that, I created a homemade granola bar recipe. This delicious Pumpkin Power Bar recipe to be used in your weight loss menu plans. It’s the perfect tasty Fall treat to enjoy after a workout or as a quick afternoon snack or even a guilt free dessert!

Yum! I’ve got everything except the cocoa nibs. I’ll make it anyway!
You can sub choco chips for the nibs. I’m going to try this again Friday using peanut butter instead of applesauce.
These sound good. Making your own granola bars is always so great. I love to make granola bars too, but I’ve never seen cocoa nibs before!
Hey Katie! I buy my cocoa nibs at Good Earth. Most health food stores should carry them. You can also find them listed in my Amazon store. Just click on “Shop” at the top of the page.
By the way, your pumpkin muffin recipe looks so delicious and healthy! I can’t wait to try it.

uh YUM! I made these today at my mom’s house. Between my kids, my mom and my nieces and nephews, they didn’t last the day! They were a hit and all the kids loved them just as much as I did. Definitely an awesome go to recipe. Thanks
