Protein Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars

Step 1

Chop your zucchini into pieces (no need to peel) and puree in a blender or food processor until smooth.

Step 2

Whisk your eggs in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add almond butter, puréed zucchini, canned pumpkin, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

Step 4

Add your dry ingredients (protein powder thru cinnamon) and mix until combined.

Step 5

Add some liquid stevia or sweetener of choice, making sure it’s one you like! Don’t throw a bunch of dry stevia in there as it can leave a weird, bitter aftertaste.

Step 6

Stir in chocolate chips and pour into a parchment lined 9x13 pan. (I like to sprinkle extra chocolate chips over half the pan for the kids!)

Step 7

Bake at 350 for about 30-35 minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle with flake salt and serve warm or cold, with a little butter, almond butter, honey or whipped cream! Or of course plain is great too. Enjoy!
