Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin (122g)
  • 1/4 cup nut butter (56g)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder (40g)
  • 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder (31g)
  • 1/4 cup granular sweetener (36g) I used Swerve
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free pancake syrup (60g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Dash of salt optional

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients in a food processor (or mix with a hand mixer) until everything is incorporated and you have a thick batter.
  • Store in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the flavors to come together more. For best results, let sit overnight! 
  • Enjoy with pretzels, cookies, graham crackers, fruit, or even use as a frosting. Get creative with it! Keep stored in the fridge.

Notes

To make vegan: use a vegan protein powder (like PEScience's vegan vanilla or your favorite vegan protein!) and replace the sugar-free pancake syrup with pure maple syrup.
