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
  1. Simply mix all ingredients together (I used a food processor to be very evenly combined), but you can also use a bowl and spoon.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
