Protein Pumpkin Bars

Grain-Free-Pumpkin-Bars

This recipe has been my absolute favorite go-to snack lately. I am looking forward to spring, but my taste buds are still stuck in the fall. Pumpkin is an incredible source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, antioxidants and fiber. And with more potassium than a banana, pumpkin is a great post workout recovery food. Top a bar with natural nut butter for a healthy snack or serve with a spoonful of fresh whipped cream for a great dessert.

Ingredients:

1 c. canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)

6 egg whites

2 t. vanilla

2 scoops vanilla protein powder (100 cal/20 g. protein per scoop)

4 T coconut flour

1 t baking powder

2 t cinnamon

1/2 t nutmeg

1/4 t ginger

2 packets of stevia

Mix until smooth and spread greased 8 x 8 pan. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Makes 4 servings.
