When pumpkin season strikes, you know we're going all in.

Last week, I picked up 12 (yes, 12!) cans of pumpkin puree because it was on sale thinking it would last me at least until February. Nope, already running through them like crazy and only have 4 left.

So what have we been up to? Well for starters, if you haven't tried my Vegan Pumpkin Donuts, hit pause on this recipe and make those asap. Next, I've been making loaf after loaf of my Quinoa Pumpkin Bread. We slammed our way through a batch of my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pancakes yesterday, annnd I've been testing these new quinoa breakfast bars!

Quinoa breakfast bars have been around SQ for about 2 years now, but why it has taken me this long to try a pumpkin variety, I'll never know. Because these babies are SO delicious!

They're gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, refined sugar-free and can easily by make without nuts. Plus, they only use one bowl and are awesome for meal prep!

But my favorite way to enjoy them?

Slightly warmed, with a drizzle of nut butter and a cup of hot coffee (or pumpkin spice matcha latte). This was pretty much my breakfast scene all week long this past week and it was heavenly.

Since the weather has seemed to turn more towards winter, warm, cozy breakfasts like this are a must!

And these pumpkin pie quinoa breakfast bars dipped in a steaming up of coffee? Even better!

I can't wait to see your recreations of these breakfast bars ❤ make sure to share a photo with me on Instagram by tagging @simplyquinoa or #simplyquinoa!
