Step 1

Whisk your eggs in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the pumpkin purée, almond butter, puréed zucchini or yellow squash, and almond extract. Mix well.

Step 3

Add all dry ingredients listed above, beginning with the protein powder and stopping with nutmeg. Mix until combined.

Step 4

Add some liquid stevia or sweetener of choice, making sure it’s one you like! Don’t use dry stevia. It can leave a weird, bitter aftertaste. If you like your breakfast bars on the sweeter side, add up to ¼ cup of maple syrup or sugar.

Step 5

Stir in the chocolate chips and pour your mix into a parchment-lined 9x13 pan.

Step 6

Bake at 350° for about 40 minutes.

Step 7

Let them cool for a bit before cutting. Sprinkle them with flake salt and serve them warm or cold.
