In a clean bowl, mix the dry ingredients: protein powder, oat flour, monk fruit sweetener and pumpkin pie spice.
Next, add in the almond butter and the pumpkin puree, using your hands to knead and get the dough to combine together.NOTE: Add more oat flour if the dough is too soft, add more puree if the dough is too thick. TRY TO ADD A TEASPOON AT A TIME! The final dough should be firm, but soft enough that you can roll the dough into a ball without it falling apart.
Shape dough into a rectangular mound, then wrap in plastic wrap or an airtight container
let the dough set in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
Slice into 5 bars.
Enjoy!
Notes
*I used Orgain plant-based vanilla protein powder. **While you can buy oat flour in any major grocery store, you can make your own oatmeal flour by grinding either old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats in a small blender. If you want to keep this strictly gluten-free (some oats are produced in the same facility as wheat), be sure to buy the one with the GF label like this one***For the low carb option reflected in the nutrition facts, use a sugar-free substitute such as monk fruit sweetener or erythritol. For stevia powder, be sure to convert the amount of stevia according to package directions
