90% Dumpster-Dived Pumpkin Poppy Blueberry Lime bars

These bars turned out very moist and delicious, not to mention resourceful!

How it was done:
Mix the dry together in a bowl:
1 1/2 cup of flour
Dash of cinnamon and nutmeg
Handful of poppy seeds
1/2 t of baking soda
Dash of sea salt
Dash of vanilla bean powder

Then the wet in another dish:
1 container of Arrowhead Mill’s Pour n Bake Pumpkin Pie Filling
1 1/2 t molasses
1/3 cup oil
Small lime, juiced
1 egg

Blueberries for pattern

Topping: 1/8 cup brown sugar
1 T honey
Enough water to make saucy

Mix dry into wet, pour into a greased baking dish, and press blueberries into top. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
You can choose to add sugar to the batter (with the wet ingredients), the bars came out less sweet than I predicted (pour n bake pumpkin had added sugar, so I didn’t add sugar other than a bit of molasses). That’s when the brown sugar honey sauce comes in! Pour sauce over bars, wait a bit for the whole mess to cool. The blueberries can be hot juice bombs!
Enjoy!
