Pumpkin Clif Bar Recipe Hack - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups kashi warm cinnamon oat cereal
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup walnuts
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup apricot, loosely chopped
2 tablespoons raisins
2 teaspoons cinnamon, ground
1 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
1 teaspoon ginger, ground
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup almond butter
1/2 cup pumpkin puree

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine cereal, flour, wheat germ, walnuts, apricots, seeds, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt in food processor. Blend until cereal is fairly crumbly/almost a flour. Raisins and apricot should still be somewhat formed. In a separate medium-large bowl combine pumpkin puree, maple syrup, orange juice, and almond butter. Add dry mixture to wet ingredients and stir until well blended.
Form medium ball and shape mixture into about a 1.25\" x 3-3.5\" rectangle bar. Place bars on non-stick cookie sheet and place in oven. Bake for 9-10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely. Store in an air tight container.
