Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Granola Squares

     Granola comes in many forms~crumbles, bars, squares, and cereal...but the way I like it best is simply in my mouth!  Such is the case with Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Granola Squares.  This may be one of the most delicious things I have ever made!  While this is a higher carb to protein ratio than most of my recipes, it's still not bad, and if you use it as a topping on things such as Fage Greek Yogurt, that helps re tilt the ratio back to my comfort zone!  By itself, for a 24th of the recipe it is 213 calories, 13g net carbs and 7.5g protein.  This it totally worth every macro and an exercise is moderation!  Try this one today  ;)
