Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Yield 2 cups

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree (160g)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (64g)
  • 1/3 cup almond butter or allergy friendly alternative (80g)
  • 1/3 cup sugar or granulated sugar free substitute (70g)
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil or additional almond butter (36g)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips (45g) or more if desired
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt (can omit if using salted nut butter)
  • 1/8 tsp pumpkin pie spice or additional cinnamon

Instructions

  • 1. If your nut butter and coconut oil are not already easy to stir, gently warm them up on the stove top or in the microwave to soften.
  • 2. Combine all dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl, and stir very well.
  • 3. Stir in the softened nut butter, oil, pumpkin puree, and vanilla.
  • 4. Continue to stir for at least a minute, breaking up clumps, until it resembles cookie dough. (If you use an especially dry protein powder, you may need a little extra oil or almond butter. Do not add any water.)
  • 5. Transfer to a serving dish, and serve with graham crackers, sliced fruit, or anything you wish!
  • 6. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to five days.
