This recipe for Pumpkin Spice Breakfast Bars is another in our series from JSHealth website founder Jessica Sepel. The clinical nutritionist and best-selling author strives to help people better understand foods and their impact on the body.

According to Sepel, “Pumpkin spice is blood-sugar balancing, soothing on the digestive system and a great natural sweetener. These bars are packed with good fats, antioxidants and protein to keep you glowing all morning! If you don’t have pumpkin spice you can use a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.”

Ingredients

  • Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
  • sunflower seeds
  • pumpkin seeds
  • raw almonds
  • organic oats or quinoa
  • flaxseed
  • sesame seeds
  • sultanas or currants
  • pumpkin spice
  • almond butter
  • organic coconut oil
  • maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • tahini
  • turmeric
  • maple syrup

Steps

Place all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until well combined – the mixture should be firm but soft.

Grease and line a 20-centimeter (8-inch) square baking tray and press the mixture in evenly with the back of a spoon.

Combine the ingredients for the turmeric drizzle and stir until smooth and combined. Drizzle over mixture.

Cover and freeze for 30-40 minutes or until firm.

Remove from the freezer and cut into eight bars.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
