Time 55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups gluten-free rolled oats
1 cup chopped, pitted dates
1 cup chopped hazelnuts
½ cup chopped almonds
½ cup raisins
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup coarsely chopped gluten-free pretzels
3 tablespoons chia seeds
⅔ cup water
½ cup ground flax seeds
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 ripe bananas, mashed
2 tablespoons honey

Steps:

These bars were a bit of a disappointment. I followed the recipe exactly, but they turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overbaked them.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less sugar.

These pumpkin date bars were a hit at my Thanksgiving gathering! Everyone loved them, even those who don't usually like pumpkin desserts. They're the perfect combination of sweet and savory.

Meh. I found these bars to be a bit dry and bland. I think they could have used more moisture and some additional spices.

I've tried many gluten-free pumpkin recipes before, but these bars are by far the best. They're incredibly moist and have the perfect amount of spice. I'll definitely be making them again!

Not bad! I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but these bars were surprisingly tasty. The date filling added a nice sweetness that balanced out the pumpkin flavor.
