Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Ground oats
- 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup Almond butter
- 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground oats, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, almond butter, honey or maple syrup, eggs, and almond milk until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined, making sure not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bars are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting. This will make them easier to cut and improve their texture.
Once cooled, cut into 12 bars. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
