Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 cups (240 grams) quick oats
  • ½ cup (100 grams) sourdough starter discard
  • ½ cup (60 grams) pepitas roasted
  • 6 tablespoons (126 grams) maple syrup
  • ¼ cup (60 grams) pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons (48 grams) almond butter natural, no salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with butter or oil and line it with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the quick oats, sourdough starter discard, roasted pepitas, maple syrup, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, almond butter, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and kosher salt. Mix everything thoroughly until well blended.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Spread and press the mixture firmly into the pan, making sure it reaches the edges and corners evenly.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges start to turn lightly golden brown.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and let the granola bars cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes to help them set. Once cooled, use the parchment paper to lift the granola bars out of the pan. Cut into 12 equal-sized bars and enjoy!

Notes

  • Don't have an 8-inch square pan? Double the recipe and use a 9-inch x 13-inch pan instead.
  • Storage: Store granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Granola bars can be enjoyed straight from the freezer or thawed at room temperature for 30 minutes.
