"These fat free, low sugar pumpkin bars are great for an on-the-go breakfast or snack. I sometimes add oats, flax seeds, and protein powder to make them even more filling."

These bars make nice healthy snack or breakfast and are a nice combo of flavors. Made using un-sweetened apple sauce thus meaning this really was not very sweet at all. Loved how healthy it was till DH decided it was dessert and put whipped topping on it :lol: To get DH to eat without whipped topping next time may add just a bit of sweetener. Recipe did not say what size pan to use so used a 9x13 and they were almost over cooked at 25 minutes, next time will try using a 9x9. Thanks so much for the post.
