These Pumpkin Cranberry Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars are the perfect healthy, energy-fiber bar, quick snack or breakfast on the go! Totally delicious and addictive. But don't let the addictive part scare you. You get divine pumpkin, tart cranberries, soft and chewy oatmeal and dark chocolate all clustered together into a delicious baked bar that is way beyond delightful.
Can I just scream out "Pumpkin Cranberry Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars" from the mountain tops? And then gobble them up as fast as I can in between the echo of my voice?
I don't know why, but I'm infatuated with using the term 'gobble' for some reason. Thanksgiving is still two and a half months away...'still', right? I mean, that is scary! Where has this flippin' year gone?
We all need to slow down and enjoy all the good and important things in life. But when you put these bars in front of me, how am I supposed to take it easy and slow down?
Try it, you'll like it! Flavorful and good for ya!
