Pumpkin Protein Bars
Hi,
I made these last weekend from a recipe I found online and was so awesomely surprised! These are amazingly good, moist, and low calorie, carb, sugar, but packed with protein! I am listing the original recipe found at: http://www.naturalandbalanced.com/2011/10/21/pumpkin-protein-bars-low-carb-sugar-free-grain-free/
I think the calories will vary depending on which protein powder you use, mine ended up being only 65 calories apiece. They come out a little more cake-like than bars, but so so good. Enjoy!:drinker: :flowerforyou:

Sounds good
Where do you find coconut flour?

I found coconut powder at my local whole food store. The brand is Bob's Red Mill. It was kind of expensive, but you only use 4 tbs in the recipe so it should last a while.0

Ha...Whole Foods has everything. Ok thanks, I'll have a look for it.0

That's funny I actually came across this same recipe over the weekend and tried them out... I personally did not like them at all. Very boring, they need more flavor and could use a moister texture.. Just curious if anyone else made these..?? I will probably try them again but make my own tweaks. Will post a recipe if I am able to improve the original0
