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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, almond butter, honey or maple syrup, eggs, and almond milk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined, making sure not to overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.
