Fall is in full swing. That means it's time for pumpkin recipes! I used to not like anything pumpkin. At all.
Now that I eat real food my palate sure has changed. I love just about anything pumpkin. Even pumpkin pie (up until a few years ago one bite of that at Thanksgiving was more than I needed for a year)!
These bars are simple to make. They are easy on your tummy. They are free of a lot of allergens. And they taste like fall.
Do you enjoy pumpkin-flavored treats? What is your favorite way to use pumpkin?
