Pumpkin Cranberry Chocolate Chip Bar

Baking with protein powder is trial and error but when you nail it, you nail it! My Pumpkin Cranberry Chocolate Chip Bars are made with vanilla Casein powder which is a slow digesting protein powder so it keeps you full longer. These bars have about 40 g of carbs in each bar and I eat them as my post workout meal but they would be great for an easy breakfast or you could cut them into smaller portions and use them as a sweet tooth fix!

Pretty simple ingredients and little effort needed to pull these moist, Thanksgiving tasting dream bars together! Use a large bowl, whisk and spatula and a tinfoil pan if you want to do less dishes! Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. These bars take about 30-35 minutes to bake but I’ve cooked them less/more and they still taste good, just changes the amount of doughy-ness!

Ingredients & Instructions:

1 cup of Almond Milk (unsweetened)

1 cup of liquid egg whites

1 can pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1-2 TBSP pumpkin pie spice (I make my own with cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, and ground cloves)

8 scoops Vanilla Casein Powder

1 cup dried sweetened cranberries

1/2 cup old fashioned oats

1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

In a large bowl mix the first three ingredients together until smooth then add in the spices. Add the protein powder and whisk thoroughly until all clumps are out. Then fold in with a spatula the oats, cranberries and chocolate chips. Spray an 8×11 baking dish (or tinfoil) with non-stick cooking spray then evenly spread the batter in it. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until center no longer jiggles. Cool then cut into 6 even portions for the following macronutrients: 290 calories ~ 39.6 g carbs ~ 5.3 g fat ~ 23.1 g protein
