Yummy Pumpkin Oatmeal Blondies

Ingredients:

• 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 Farmer Jen Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookie blends
• 1/3 cup of rolled oats
• Dark chocolate melting wafers or chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, including enough to hang over all sides.
2. In a bowl, mix together flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl or standing mixer, cream butter and sugars until smooth. Add egg and vanilla and mix. Add the Once Upon a Farm pouches and mix until combined. Note - Your mixture will look chunky until dry ingredients are added.
4. Mix in dry ingredients gradually until just combined. Fold in rolled oats.
5. Spread batter in pan and sprinkle a small amount of oats on top. Bake for 35 minutes until golden brown or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. After the bars have cooled, drizzle with melted chocolate.
