If you know me, you know I’m a pumpkin ALL year kind of gal.
I don’t wait for the PSL to come back at Starbucks or for the leaves to start changing colors to enjoy pumpkin in a bunch of different ways. My favorite ways to use pumpkin include:
- stirred into oatmeal
- added to overnight oats
- baked into cookies
- blended into smoothies
- mixed into pancake batter
- baked into a cake
- baked into bread
- mixed into cookie dough
- made into muffins
- made into cupcakes
- baked into biscotti
- made into bites
- baked into granola
- stirred into mugcakes
- made into no-bake cheesecake
And now….baked into banana bread snack bars!

These bars are so easy to make and KID-APPROVED too for all you parents out there. They make a great sweet treat to pack in a lunchbox for work/school or for a little afternoon pick me up with a cup of coffee.
I have made these several times since first creating the recipe and I love them more every time. I’d almost call this CAKE instead of bars because the texture is so perfectly light and fluffy, but I’ll go with bars so they feel more snack-y. 😉
Hope you try these soon…no matter what time of year it is!
