Baked Pumpkin Protein N’Oatmlea Squares for ya since so many can’t do oats on their health journey! If you don’t like peanut butter, swap for your fave nut butter like almond, cashew, or Sunbutter for nut-free.
Enjoy the autumnal flavors of Baked Pumpkin Protein N’Oatmeal Squares. The wet ingredients blend together nonfat Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, liquid egg whites, natural peanut or almond butter, canned pumpkin, unsweetened almond milk, and riced cauliflower or grated zucchini. Combine this with a dry mixture of coconut flour, chia or psyllium husk, baking powder, ginger, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla protein powder. Top these squares with a spiced cream cheese icing made from softened cream cheese, a confectioners sugar replacement, vanilla extract, and cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. Perfect for a cozy breakfast or snack.

I was so hoping this recipe would be a prep ahead for breakfast staple but the texture was so mushy and the taste wasn’t appealing unfortunately :/ The icing was good!

Oh boo! So sorry. Sometimes different types of protein powder can affect texture. Also some cans of pumpkin are more runny than others. Mine have turned out soft before too!
