Pumpkin Pecan Oatmeal Snack Bars

These soft, cake-like Pumpkin Pecan Oatmeal Snack Bars pack well for a portable breakfast, dessert, or snack. We especially enjoy them warm from the sun when outdoors.  We’ve made them with both pumpkin puree and squash puree, and enjoyed both varieties — and coconut lovers will find a sprinkle or two of unsweetened flakes is very tasty. These freeze well, also.
