Pumpkin Protein Bars

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour (or ground oats)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup creamy nut butter I used PB
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp salt

White Chocolate Topping

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan or bread loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, add the peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree.
  • Gradually pour the dry mixture into the wet ingredients and stir until a thick, dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a tablespoon of almond milk or water until it holds together.
  • Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it down with a spatula or your hands. Make sure it's packed tightly to hold its shape.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in 15-20 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  • Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the pressed protein bars, spreading it out evenly to cover the entire surface.
  • Place the bars in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set, or in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes until the bars and white chocolate topping have firmed up.
