Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Butternut squash puree
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple-flavored sugar-free syrup
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the butternut squash puree, pumpkin puree, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and sugar-free syrup. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares or rectangles.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
