Toddler Pumpkin Oat Bars

Here's how to make a homemade version of those snackable tractor wheel shaped bars. You'll need pumpkin, oats, coconut oil, and a few simple pantry items. These soft-baked bites are chewy, great for on the go, and ready in 30 minutes. These convenient snacks come in a variety of flavors. My son loves the pumpkin, banana, and cauliflower. When recipe testing, and tasting, we decided that keeping them pumpkin-forward tasted the best. But you can absolutely play with the ratios to include mashed banana or riced cauliflower.
