These Pumpkin Protein Bars are a cozy fall-inspired snack that deliver on both flavor and function. Whether you need a grab-and-go breakfast, an afternoon pick-me-up, or a healthier treat to satisfy your sweet tooth, these bars check every box. And bonus—they’re my husband’s favorite snack, hands down. He loves the soft, spiced texture and I love knowing he’s getting a nutrient-dense bite instead of reaching for something processed.
I use Truvani Vanilla Protein Powder, which is made with clean ingredients and contains no artificial sweeteners—a must in our house. The pumpkin adds moisture and fiber, while the oats bring lasting energy. These bars are soft, satisfying, and just sweet enough.
✔️ Truvani Vanilla Protein Powder
This protein powder is my go-to for a reason. It’s made with real ingredients, no fillers, and none of that artificial aftertaste many powders have. It’s also plant-based and super easy to digest.
✔️ Pumpkin Purée
Pumpkin is rich in vitamin A, antioxidants, and fiber. It gives these bars their soft texture and cozy flavor while supporting immune health and digestion.
✔️ Maple Syrup
A natural sweetener that keeps things simple. It brings just the right amount of sweetness without the need for refined sugar.
✔️ Quick Oats
Oats offer sustained energy, heart-healthy fiber, and a touch of chewiness. They make these bars more filling and blood sugar-friendly.
✔️ Dark Chocolate Chips
A little chocolate goes a long way. These add richness and balance the spice while still keeping things on the healthy side. Look for dairy-free options with minimal ingredients.
