Published 11/10/2024 Who woulda thunk yogurt and pumpkin would be such a dream combo!? I have so many of these high protein pumpkin bars stashed in my fridge right now… someone might have to intervene 👀. Overindulging in these wouldn’t be a big deal, though — they’re packed with nutritious ingredients like pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, granola, and eggs! Making them is easy. Just mix everything together and toss ’em in the oven. Make sure you serve these bars with granola and maple syrup! It really amplifies the fall flavors and adds a delicious crunch.
High Protein Pumpkin Bars – Featured Ingredients
2% Greek yogurt or skyr yogurt: If you’re going the Greek yogurt route 2% is the move because it adds a nice creaminess without being too heavy. We LOVE using Painterland Sisters skyr yogurt for this recipe — it’s super creamy and v high protein, making it a perfect fit for these bars 😃 Pumpkin puree: Super moist and delicious, pumpkin puree adds yummy sweetness to the bars. Light brown sugar: Adds a hint of caramel flavor and sweetness to balance out the tartness of the Greek yogurt. Eggs: These act as a binding agent and help give the bars structure. Pumpkin pie spice: A blend of warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice. Adds a cozy fall flavor to the bars. Granola: We love serving our baked yogurt pumpkin bars with some crunchy granola! Use your favorite! Maple syrup: The ultimate finishing touch, maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness and amplifies the fall flavors in these bars.
What’s a good brown sugar substitute?
If you don’t have light brown sugar on hand, maple syrup would be our top choice as a brown sugar substitute. It pairs deliciously with pumpkin and maintains that sweet fall flavor!
What type of granola works best for this recipe?
We recommend using a plain or lightly sweetened granola for this recipe. This allows the other flavors, like pumpkin and maple syrup, to shine through without being overpowered by a heavily flavored granola. Use your best judgment!
