Ingredients

½ cup pumpkin puree
⅓ cup liquid sweetener (allulose honey, or sweetener of choice)
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 serving or scoop or ½ cup chocolate protein powder (I used Keto Chow)
¼ cup crushed walnuts

Instructions

Mix pumpkin puree, liquid sweetener, cocoa powder, and protein powder until a dough forms.
Put in freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour to make dough easier to work with. If it's too wet, add more protein powder. If too dry, add a little more pumpkin.
Roll into a log shape, dust with cocoa powder if dough gets too sticky.
Press log shape into crushed walnuts to coat.
Slice into pieces. Enjoy!

Notes

1. Protein Powder– Feel free to use about ½ cup of your preferred protein powder of choice for this recipe (or even more almond flour will work), but please note it will change the nutrition facts drastically as protein powders vary from brand to brand. I use Keto Chow because it’s more than a protein powder, it’s a keto meal mix that provides more nutrition than just protein. It also bakes beautifully and has the best flavor variations.

2. Sweeteners – Use what works best for your lifestyle. I typically bake with allulose and monk fruit blends. For this recipe, I used a liquid allulose honey substitute.

3. Nutrition and carbs – Be aware that some recipe blogs omit sugar alcohols or allulose from the nutrition calculation since it does not affect blood sugar. For transparency, I have included it and calculated the net carbs below. Always use a carb counter app like Cronometer according to the brands you use in order to get accurate nutrition information.
