Equipment

Ingredients

1/2 cup quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
1 cup naturally sweetened vanilla whey or raw vegan protein powder
1-1/2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1/2 cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
2 large eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup Truvia (or sweetener of choice)
1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil then spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a food processor or blender blitz the oats until they have a flour like consistency. Transfer the oat flour a medium bowl and stir in the protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt, until well blended.
In a small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, yogurt, eggs, vanilla, and truvia until well combined.
Add the pumpkin mixture to the oat mixture and stir until well blended then stir in the chocolate chips.
Spread the pumpkin batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until just set at the center. Remove from the oven and cool completely in the pan, then remove using the liner. Cut into 10 bars.
