Pumpkin Spice Protein Bars: Fall Goodness All The Way Around
The Farm • Sep 28, 2025 • 2 min read
Fall brings cooler days, colorful leaves, and the return of pumpkin spice everything. While most seasonal treats lean heavy on sugar and empty calories, these Pumpkin Spice Protein Bars are built differently.
At The Farm, we believe balance is the key. That’s why this recipe blends real pumpkin with protein powder and flax seed for staying power. The result is a soft, satisfying bar that tastes like fall, fuels your day, and keeps you aligned with your goals.

- ½ cup coconut flour
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 3 whole eggs
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder

- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
Equipment: Food processor, baking spatula, 2 oz ladle/measuring cup, measuring spoons, mini loaf or square baking pans, baking spray or paper cupcake liners
