If you follow me on Instagram, then you’ve definitely seen these bars making a major appearance!  Owen and I have been gobbling them up like there’s no tomorrow.

I love these because they’re a great way to sneak in a ton of nutrition into one bite-sized bar that I can quickly pull out for easy breakfasts or snacks. 

They’re offering up whole grain fiber &  heart-healthy fats from the oats and chia seeds plus a boost of protein thanks to the addition siggi’s seasonal (aka – here for only a limited time!) 2% pumpkin & spice yogurt.  Not to mention numerous vitamins & minerals from the bananas & pumpkin!

All around, not too bad for a dish that comes together in less than 30 minutes, am I right?  PLUS (as if you needed more convincing on these babies!) with the addition of siggi’s and the bananas, you’re getting a breakfast that’s already lightly sweetened with those two simple ingredients, so there’s no need to add a load of additional sugar.

I personally like to slather mine with a little nut butter or a little additional sigg’s pumpkin & spice yogurt, but you can serve them straight out of the pan as well (that’s Owen’s favorite way!).

No matter how you choose to serve them up, I can promise you they’ll be full of pumpkin flavor and an easy, nutrient-dense treat for the whole family!
