Homemade oatmeal/granola bars are a sweet, pretty healthy treat that is great to take with you on the go! If you aren't a big pumpkin fan, focus on the brown sugar and some cinnamon and nutmeg to season the bars. These would also be great if you changed the chocolate chips with vanilla chips and added some chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts!
