Pumpkin Blueberry Bars

I had opened a can of pumpkin puree to make Z some play clay (a taste safe dough that she quite enjoyed poking and playing with) and had some left over so of course decided that meant it was time to bake. Z has not been as crazy about meat as she was a few weeks ago, so I find myself sneaking baby cereal into a few things to make sure that she is getting enough iron. If you are making these for older children (or yourself - I quite enjoyed them!), feel free to substitute the baby cereal with a flour of your choice.

In a bowl combine: 

• 1/3 cup baby oats
• 2/3 cup flour (I used an all purpose gluten free flour as that is what we had in the house)
• 1 cup quick oats
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup pumpkin
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup apple sauce
• 2 TBSP almond milk
• 1/2 - 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 cup blueberries

Press batter into a greased 9x13 cake pan and bake in 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Remove and let cool in pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy fresh or freeze to take out for a quick snack later. Z loves these and will often eat a couple in one sitting. Enjoy!
