Pumpkin Protein Bars version 3.0 (muffins!)


Ingredients


  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/2 cup coconut butter
  • 1/4 cup local honey
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1 can 100% pure pumpkin (15oz)
  • 1 cup dry old fashioned dry oats
  • 6 scoops Optimum Pro Complex
  • 4 scoops whey protein
  • 4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp Optimum Nutrition Liquid Stevia Extract


Changes

I reduced the honey to 1/4 cup, which eliminated 70g carbs and added an extra teaspoon of vanilla, just because I like vanilla.  I also put these into two large muffin pans to make 8 large muffins.  The goal with this is to get more thorough baking through the center of the muffins.  I baked them at 350 degrees for 12 minutes and the middles still appear to be somewhat undercooked, however I actually like them that way.  I might try baking them for 15 minutes next time, but so far these look like winners to me!
