Yummy With A Twist

One of our chums took a recipe we posted a few weeks ago, and added to it.  We love it when that happens 🙂Our chum David, from Food Made of Love, took our recipe for Oatmeal Apple Walnut Bars

and added pumpkin to the recipe and voila!

There is still no sugar added, so these are the perfect slightly sweet treat for anyone who isn’t eating sugar this Thanksgiving or anytime for that matter….Thanks David !

Last year we put a twist on a recipe ourselves, using our Pumpkin Bread recipe we made them as muffins and added a butter cream cheese icing to our recipe and our lovely breakfast or teatime muffins becamePumpkin Cupcakes🙂 

Let these delicious and healthy Pumpkin Oatmeal Apple Bars or the very moist and yummy Pumpkin Cupcakes add more love and more joy to your very abundant lives, and while you are at it, be sure and give a healthy dose of thankfulness too 🙂

1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Add 2 diced apples (cored and peeled)
Add other dried fruit or cocunut (no more than 1/2 cup)

Spray wax paper with spray oil

Put the bar ingredients in lined pan
