Good morning! Happy Friday!
Apparently, I’m into no-bake recipes lately because here is another one! And since a lot of us are into pumpkin right now, I figured this recipe would likely be a winner this time of year. These bars remind me a lot of cheesecake, texture-wise, but without the “cheese” flavor. Instead, the flavor is a combo of pure pumpkin mixed with sweet vanilla. Guys, they’re so good.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup oat flour (or grind up some rolled oats)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/8 cup maple syrup (more if you prefer a sweeter bar)
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- sprinkles/shredded coconut/chopped walnuts/chocolate chips (optional)
Directions:
Combine above ingredients in a large bowl; mix well.
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and spread batter evenly with a spatula.
Shake some sprinkles (or whatever fun ingredient you’d like) on top and press lightly into batter with your hand.
Place pan in freezer for at least an hour or in the refrigerator overnight.
Remove pan from freezer/refrigerator, take off parchment paper, and place on a cutting board.
Trim up the edges with a knife (feel free to eat these pieces immediately) and then cut into 8 bars. Serve cold.
Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
Recipe makes 8 bars.
I love no-bake stuff…and pumpkin! These look awesome..totally trying them this weekend!
Yum! Definitely pinning these! I am going to try them this weekend!
The sprinkles on top – so cute!
I’m not really *that* into pumpkin flavored things (cue gasp!) but this recipe sounds really tasty. Pinning it to give it a try! I do adore no-bake treats 🙂
This looks awesome! Do you think almond flour and agave would be acceptable substitutes?
Sure!
yummy!
Yum, these look fantastic – no bake + pumpkin are two of my favorite things 🙂
The sprinkles are the finishing touch 🙂
That looks like a fun festive pumpkin treat!
These look amazing! Do you think it would be alright to use all oat flour and no almond flour?
Just went to the fridge!
Did you calculate how much protein is in these?
It depends on the type of protein powder you use, so the protein will vary a little bit.
These look yummy and super easy to make!
Thanks for sharing! And would it be ok, if I made this & shared the recipe on my
blog? (I would of course link back to your blog.)

Adorable!! Perfect for a halloween party too 🙂

Um YUM
I would love these bars with some chocolate chips. I was just reading how great pumpkin is for you. What a perfect recipe for this time of year. It will give me the protein I need and satisfy my sweet tooth. : )
What kind of protein did you use? If whey, do you think they’d work with plant-based?
I used SFH vanilla Recovery. (It’s linked in this post.) I think they’d work with the plant-based protein powder! 🙂
@Tina: Totally missed the link. Thanks!
