Blueberry Pumpkin Protein Bars - Sweet, Spiced, Amazing

Not kidding, I had no idea that blueberry and pumpkin was even a good combination, but man is it worth it?! The juicy summer berries and cozy fall vibes in the pumpkin come together so well in this recipe.

My husband and I had about 3 pieces at a time; Yes, that’s how good these are.

Ingredients for Blueberry Pumpkin Protein Bars

These blueberry pumpkin protein bars are made with a few healthy ingredients, and have no added sugars or butter either. Simple ingredients you can easily access.

• Pure Pumpkin Puree either from the can like libbys, or homemade. Make sure its not pumpkin pie filling though
• Low Fat Pumpkin Spice flavored Kefir for an extra high protein pumpkin baked oats recipe. I used the one from Lifeway Kefir.
• Vanilla Protein Powder needed for high protein blondies and also replaces most of the ‘sugar’.
• I used the whey-casein Vanilla protein powder from Quest Nutrition and part plant-based vanilla from Livwell Nutrition.
• Unflavored Protein Powder to replace some of the flour (and carbs) in the recipe for a slightly low calorie protein blondie. Quest Nutrition whey-casein again here.
• Pumpkin Cheesecake flavored Peanut Butter Powder (peanut powder), or regular
• I used Pumpkin Cheesecake Flavored PB Co peanut powder.
• For a regular version I’d recommend Lakanto (code HAYLSKITCHEN gives you a discount) or PbFit or PB2 too.
• Blueberries
• Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
• 1:1 Zero Calorie Brown Sugar Substitute – I use Lakanto, to keep this recipe sugar free; (code HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount here).
• Unsweetened Almond Milk
• Almond Butter
• I recommend American Dream Nut Butter Pumpkin Cheesecake, or any other Almond Butter here; Its lower fat and higher protein. The link or code HAYLSKITCHEN gives you a discount too.
