Recipe type: Snack, Breakfast
Cuisine: Gluten-free, Vegan
Serves: 4-5
Ingredients
Protein Powder Version:
½ cup cashew or almond butter (I used cashew)
¼ cup pure pumpkin puree
1 serving vanilla protein powder-about ½ cup or 46 grams*
1-2 tablespoons coconut flour (amount will depend on your protein powder)
1½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon salt
Oat Flour Version:
½ cup cashew or almond butter (I used cashew)
¼ cup pure pumpkin puree
½ cup oat flour
1-2 tablespoons brown sugar (to taste)**
1½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Simply mix all ingredients together (I used a food processor to be very evenly combined), but you can also use a bowl and spoon.
I just used any glass container to press dough into (like a small loaf pan, or only use part of a loaf pan). Cut each batch into 4-5 bars.
These protein bars have a pretty soft texture, so these bars must be kept refrigerated (just like store-bought Perfect Bars!). I froze mine to firm up and for longer storage.
Notes
*I used Orgain brand **I used 1.5 tablespoons
