These Pumpkin Cranberry Oat Bars make the perfect Fall dessert. Packed with flavorful mix-ins, they’re made with white whole wheat flour and oats for a boost of fiber.

Hi Friends!

We’re digging into the archives to highlight yet another pumpkin recipe. Are you sick of it yet? If so, I’m sorry. Pumpkin season just makes me go a little crazy…in a good way. Anyways, this is a dessert recipe I posted 3 years ago. If you go back and re-read my original post, you’ll have a pretty clear idea of how much I like these. So good. I think it’s the pumpkin-butterscotch combo that puts them over the edge!

These Pumpkin Cranberry Oat Bars make a healthier dessert option to satisfy your sweet tooth!

I made a batch of these last month and pretty much ate the whole pan myself so…… yeah. They’re good.

Here’s how you make them:

  9. Nope–never get sick of pumpkin recipes! And I remember making these last year and loving them, so I’ll have to do it again now that you brought it out fresh!

  16. I just pinned these! They will be so great to have around the house (and by house I mean my dad’s house/grandparent’s house) for the holidays for guests! Butterscotch is so underrated!
