Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the butternut squash puree, pumpkin puree, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and sugar-free syrup. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it out with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares or rectangles.

Step 8

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
