Pumpkin Butterscotch Granola Bars

I hope you are not tired of pumpkin yet? I’m not, so I’m just going to keep throwing them at you for a while. Ok?

Pumpkin Butterscotch Granola Bars

We are knee deep in the school year right now, and I am back in my school lunch grind. I also like to bring a snack bag in the car in the afternoons when I do pick up, because we have quite a commute and Pia gets really hungry.

Pumpkin Butterscotch Granola Bars

I will usually throw a string cheese and apple or some crackers or something, but this past week I decided to make homemade granola bars for the first time in quite a while after I was inspired by these.

Oh my gosh. The smell of these baking is heavenly and even though they were for the “children” I ate a couple of them immediately and without pausing for air.

I then wrapped the remaining bars individually in wax paper and stuck them in Ziplocs, and I just pull them out whenever I am hungry. Oh, uh, I mean when I want to give the kids a snack…
