🎃 Paleo Pumpkin Energy Bars 🎃
So I eat a lot in the morning, like A LOT, a lot! 🍳🥓🍌🥬🐮 In addition to Eggs with Bacon or Sausage AND a Collagen Peptide Fruit Smoothie, I also chow down on 1-2 of these Paleo Pumpkin Energy Bars! They’re Whole30 Friendly, great on the go, and are completely guilt free, coming in at only 137 Calories per bar! These have become a staple in my diet and have been consistently in the fridge at all times for the past 3 weeks! They make a great beach snack, and if you top them with almond butter they make a great dessert as well!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Almonds
1 cup Coconut Chips
1/3 cup Dried Apple Chips
1/4 cup Pumpkin Purée
1 1/2 cups Pitted Medjool Dates
2 Scoops of Orgain Collagen Peptides
1 1/2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
INSTRUCTIONS:
Add apple, coconut, and almond to your food processor and blend until everything is very finely chopped, about 1-2 minutes.
Add in your collagen peptides, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin purée, and dates and blend until mixture turns into a “dough”. I recommend tearing the dates up first by hand or with scissors before adding to the food processor.
Line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper and spread the mixture into the dish, flattening it down by hand. You can roll a shot glass along the top to smooth it out even further.
Place your baking dish into the refrigerator for 4 hours to allow mixture to harden into bars.
Cut into 16 pieces with a metal spatula. Serve with some fresh fruit, a glass of almond milk, and enjoy!
