Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F, and lightly grease a 9”x6” baking dish (or use an 8”x8” and reduce baking time).
In a large bowl, combine all the wet ingredients -pumpkin puree, kefir, egg whites. Whisk together.
Add in dry ingredients - oats, protein powder, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice.Whisk again.
Pour mixture into prepared dish and flatten with back of a spoon or spatula.Top with chopped pecans.
Bake for 22-25 minutes until center is just set. The top will be slightly wet in the middle, but that’s expected. Tester knife inserted into middle should come out slightly moist.Cooking longer will make the oats dry on the inside.
Let cool for about 15-20 minutes.
Slice into bars, drizzle on melted white chocolate, and enjoy!
