ALL THE GOOD STUFF
PUMPKIN GRANOLA BARS GLUTEN FREE
I changed up my regular granola bars. I added pumpkin, some spices and a few other things. I love the flavour of pumpkin and cinnamon. It just feels like fall when you have one of these bars. They're good! Very filling too. I love having one or two for breakfast.
