Protein Pumpkin Bars

October 2, 2014 by Monica Nelson Leave a Comment

Protein Pumpkin Bars Protein Pumpkin Bars Protein Pumpkin Bars

I just love pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin.  It is true.  Every time I am at the store this time of year, I stock up on the canned pumpkin. I am talking at least 5 cans a visit.  I also found a brand that is Organic and BPA Free…holla!

What is not to love about this recipe? A snack and treat that is great for pre -or post- workouts that is protein packed, good for you, and… SO Delicious. Low in sugar too.

Protein Pumpkin Bars

I take advantage of this time of year and any recipe I can that involves Pumpkin.  When it comes to Pumpkin Bars, I have many recipes I like but I wanted something easier.  A bar with no hassles and I wanted them to still stay HEALTHY. So here we are with this recipe.

Don't forget the whipped cream! If you are not sick of pumpkin yet, then you will love these. Can make as a loaf and cut into bars or use a muffin tin and have healthy muffins for on the go!

Like this recipe? Try my Protein Cake Bars and all my Lightened-Up Treats. Also, check out A TON of all my Pumpkin recipes – you will for sure find something you like, I promise.

Many have asked the Nutritional Info. Here it is WITHOUT THE WHIPPED CREAM OR NUTS:

SERVING SIZE: 1 Serving (42.5 g) or (1 small square) Calories 58, Fat 2.8 g, Carbs 8.7 g Sodium 53 mg Protein 5.3 g Fiber 1.1 g Sugar 4.9 g.
