Vegan and Gluten Free Protein Pumpkin Pie Bars

these Vegan and Gluten Free Protein Pumpkin Pie Bars are a festive protein-packed treat for any occasion.

with a tender gluten-free crust, a creamy pumpkin filling, and a sticky pecan topping, they offer a perfect blend of flavors and textures.

whether you’re catering to dietary restrictions, want to incorporate more protein or simply craving a healthier dessert, these bars make the BEST choice.

the flavors in these bars are a harmonious blend of rich and creamy, sweet and spicy. the organic pumpkin purée offers a natural sweetness and a smooth, earthy note, while the maple syrup adds a light sweetness.

the pumpkin pie spice infuses warm, comforting spices into the filling, creating that signature pumpkin pie flavor.

the cream cheese brings a creamy, tangy element to balance the sweetness and makes the bars sort of feel like cheesecake!

to top it off, the sticky pecan topping provides a satisfying crunch and a buttery, nutty sweetness.

with 3/4 cup of protein powder, these bars also offer a substantial protein boost, making them not only delicious but also nutritious.

certain protein flavors can really complement the overall taste profile of these bars. options like vanilla protein powder can enhance the creamy and sweet notes of the pumpkin filling, creating a super yummy blend.

if you’re looking to emphasize the classic pumpkin pie taste, a pumpkin spice-flavored protein powder can accentuate the spices already present in the recipe.

other flavors like cinnamon or chai could also be great choices, adding warmth and depth to the bars. ultimately, the protein flavor you choose can be a fun way to customize these pumpkin pie bars to your taste preferences!!

when it comes to choosing the right protein for these bars, the good news is that you can use any brand of protein powder that suits preferences. i used the brand truvani, but you can use whatever you like!

the versatility of the recipe allows for flexibility in your protein powder choice, making it accessible and adaptable for everyone.

the texture of these bars is perfectly fudgy!! the gluten-free crust provides a firm and slightly soft base, while the pumpkin filling is creamy and dense, offering a satisfying contrast.

the inclusion of protein powder contributes to a fudgy richness, making each bite feel indulgent and fulfilling.

together with the sticky pecan topping, the bars offer a wide array of textures, from the smooth creaminess of the filling to the crunchy nuttiness on top.

you can definitely add a dollop of vegan whipped cream to the top too! i highly recommend doing this because it makes the bars reminiscent of classic pumpkin pie.
