How to Make Fat Free Pumpkin Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup granulated sugar (or your preferred sugar substitute).
  3. In a separate bowl, blend the wet ingredients: 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree, 2 large eggs, ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy).
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in ½ cup chopped dried cranberries (or other dried fruit of your choice), ½ cup rolled oats (optional), 2 tablespoons flax seeds (optional), and ¼ cup protein powder (optional).
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. Enjoy!
