Pumpkin Oatmeal Breakfast Bars

So I was munching on an applesauce oatmeal breakfast bar when it suddenly I start thinking “I wonder if this would work with pumpkin: and like that Pumpkin Oatmeal Breakfast Bars were born.

I altered the recipe just a little adding in another egg as otherwise the recipe was kind of dry. The result was moist and yummy breakfast bars, perfect for those mornings when you got to grab breakfast as you rush out the door, even though you got up at 4:30 and it is now 7:30, because you got so caught up in blogging you forgot to eat.

Or is that just me? Well whatever is causing you to rush these pumpkin oatmeal bars are the perfect grab and go breakfast.
