Ingredients for White Chocolate Pumpkin Protein Blondies

These high protein pumpkin blondies are made with a few healthy ingredients, and have no eggs, no oil, no sugar and gluten free too. An overall great white chocolate and pumpkin dessert!

• Pumpkin Puree: Make sure it’s just the plain puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
• Vanilla Protein Powder needed for high protein blondies and also replaces most of the ‘sugar’.
  I used the whey-caesin Vanilla protein powder from Quest Nutrition
• Oat Flour (you can make your own with rolled oats in a high speed blender)
• 1:1 Zero Calorie Sugar Substitute – I use Lakanto, to keep this recipe sugar free;  (code HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount here too.
• Coconut Flour

• Non-fat Greek Yogurt contributes to the oil-free part of these high protein low calorie blondies since it adds the moisture, and also extra protein 
• A bit of Almond Butter – for the rich caramel blondie flavor.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice (or a homemade version; there’s plenty recipes online)
• Baking Soda

And then for the white chocolate pumpkin blondie:

• Sugar free White Chocolate Chips or chopped chocolate. I use the white chocolate chips from Lily’s here. They also have white chocolate bar that would work too.

Tips for perfect Pumpkin Protein Powder Blondies

This white chocolate pumpkin dessert with protein powder is really easy to make, and here’s some pointers to get it right.

• Use room temperature pumpkin puree and yogurt;
  This is so the wet ingredients and dry ingredients can mix well.

• Room temperature drippy almond butter so it mixes well too and does not clump.

• Don’t over-mix the batter!
  Make sure you gently fold the dry mix into the wet to combine them.
  If you over-mix it, the protein powder will make the white chocolate blondies tough, dense and gummy.

• Taste the batter and see if you need some extra sweetener. I’d recommend using stevia powder to maintain the consistency of the batter and have low sugar raspberry blondie recipe.

How to store Pumpkin Spice Protein Blondies?

This high protein white chocolate pumpkin spice blondie recipe keeps well for a meal prep dessert or post workout snack and is freezer friendly too!

Store pumpkin protein powder blondies at room temperature in an airtight container for 1-2 days or in the fridge for a week.

To freeze healthy pumpkin blondies, individually wrap each protein blondie square in plastic wrap and place in freezer-safe zipper bags or air tight container; The blondie bars should keep for 2-3 months.

Alternatives for Healthy Pumpkin Blondies

I made these high protein healthy pumkpin blondies with sugar free white chocolate and particular brand of protein powder, and know they turn out amazing this way.

.
I do have some alternatives you can try, but I haven’t testing them all so I can’t say how your recipe might turn out. I’d love to know if you do!

• Oat Flour: All purpose flour, 1:1 gluten free baking flour or Whole Wheat Pastry Flour; The same amount by weight
• 1:1 Zero Calorie Sugar Replacement: Regular confectioners sugar or coconut sugar (this won’t be sugar free though, and also higher in calories)
• Coconut Flour: Try 3x of Almond Flour (I haven’t given it a go yet though)
• Greek Yogurt: Coconut Yogurt
• Almond Milk: Any other milk 
• Almond Butter: Sunflower Seed Butter, Hazelnut Butter or even Tahini; Peanut butter might give a strong flavor, so I wound’t recommend it.
• White Chocolate: Regular chocolate works as well. I recommend Lakanto to keep it sugar free; (Code HAYLSKITCHEN gets you a discount here too)

To make Vegan Pumpkin Blondies

For a high protein Vegan pumpkin blondies recipe, use coconut yogurt in place of Greek Yogurt, dairy free chocolate and also a plant based protein powder.

ProteinWorld has a Vegan protein blend that could work well here (HAYLSKITCHEN for the discount here too).

I haven’t tried pea protein or other plant based ones, so I can’t say how those would work.

Gluten Free Pumpkin Blondie

To make these healthy pumpkin blondies gluten free, use a gluten free oat flour.
