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.

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.

Perfect for a cozy breakfast or snack.
