Everything Breakfast Bar

This is really good! Like another reviewer, I used a whole can of organic pumpkin in it (1.75 cups) and instead of spleda or regular brown sugar, I used 1 cup of demerara sugar. The demerara sometimes makes baked goods a little crunchy because it doesn't always disolve the same as conventional sugar, so I put the pumpkin, eggs, milk, maple syrup and vanilla in a 4 cup pyrex measuring cup, stirred in the demerara sugar, and then let is sit for about 15 minutes before mixing it in with the dry ingredients and raisins. I soaked the raisins in hot water for 15 minutes, also, before combining all the ingredients. These turned out very cake or muffin-like, and they might fall apart if someone tried to eat them on the run like a pop tart. I'm wondering if I let them sit a bit and then freeze them in individual servings if they might hold together a bit better than they do right out of the pan. These taste wonderful, though, and I'll definately be making them again!

These have a great flavor and were super easy to put together. The raisins plumped up nicely and mesh well with the pumpkin. I was expecting something a little more like a granola bar, but the texture is more similar to that of bread pudding: very soft, chewy, dense.

I used 1/4 cup of sugar free syrup instead of the maple syrup and took out the brown sugar. I also used egg beaters instead and added a pinch or two of nutmeg. I baked it at 350 for the first thirty min. then turned it down. It took about 45min. Very good. tastes just like the quaker breakfast squares

This is an easy recipe for a nutritious snack. I halved the recipe, used low fat milk, all brown sugar instead of splenda but only about half the recipe called for. I also added only a handful of raisins, a small handful of shredded coconut and about 2 T of pecan pieces. Oh and I didn't have a pumpkin so I subbed a ripe banana. I really want to try it with pumpkin though. I rolled the cut pieces in finely granulated sugar and wrapped them individually. They're really good with coffee. Thanks for posting the recipe, Resa66!
