Pumpkin Protein Bars

Fall is totally here in England. The leaves are changing color, its darker earlier and later in the mornings, and the temps average low 60's as a high. This means I need a few little pumpkin treats in my life!!!

This are so easy to make, they really really taste awesome. Like so awesome that you really have to ration out a serving size and then put the rest away!  If you are looking for something different for your fall rotation and snacks this is one we highly recommend.

Makes 12 servings 

Ingredients: 

• 1/2 cup agave 
• 4 oz applesauce 
• 2 tsp cinnamon 
• 1.5 tsp ground ginger 
• 1 tsp baking power 
• 1 tap baking soda 
• 1/2 tsp sea salt 
• 2 tsp vanilla extract 
• 4 egg whites 
• 15 oz can raw pumpkin 
• 2 cups oat flour (I make my own by blending steel cut oats in a blender, dry)
• 2 scoops vanilla shakeology powder 
• 1/4 cup almond milk 

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Combine all spices and stir till combined in a large mixing bowl. 
2. Add agave, applesauce, vanilla, egg whites, pumpkin, almond milk and stir till combined. 
3. Add in dry ingredients (baking powder, packing soda, oat flour, protein powder) and still till well incorporated. 
4. Take a 9×13 inch pan and spray liberally with coconut oil cooking spray. Pour batter into pan and spread too so bars are even. Bake on 350 for 30 minutes. Enjoy!!
