Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Granola Bars

I saw this recipe posted on my Facebook News Feed the other day by the wonderful people who write Two Peas and Their Pod. This is a quick, easy, delicious snack that you have GOT to try if you are a pumpkin-lover like me!
The Ingredients

3 1/4 cups rolled oats
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8 x 8 pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the oats, spices and salt. In another bowl combine all the remaining ingredients except chocolate chips.

Pour wet mix over oat mix

and combine until all the oats are moist. Add chips.

Press into the prepared pan and bake for 25 - 30 minuutes.

Remove from pan and let cool.

Cut into bars and enjoy!

I like to bag them up in a snack-sized ziplocs for the kids lunches (and mine too!)
