Amazing bars fulfill all your Fall dreams! High in protein, fiber & complex carbs!!
RECIPE:
1/2 cup mashed banana about 1 medium
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup nut butter of choice or seed butter for nut-free option
1 egg
2 tablespoons sugar free syrup
1 1/2 cups quick cook oats
1 cup cooked quinoa
1/3 cup sugar sub (I use Allulose) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08X17196C
1/4 cup hemp seeds (optional)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 8″x 8″ baking pan with parchment paper and grease the sides with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the banana, pumpkin, nut butter, flax egg and syrup until smooth. Add oats, quinoa, sugar, hemp seeds, baking powder and spices, and mix everything together until fully incorporated. The batter should be moist and somewhat sticky.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula.
Bake on the center rack for 22 - 23 minutes until the bars are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove and let cool completely in the pan completely, then remove and slice into squares (or rectangles). Store in an airtight container for 4 – 5 days in the fridge.
