Homemade Pumpkin Protein Bars

For now, love yourself and enjoy this one ... 

The homemade pumpkin protein bars taste like pumpkin pie, but are gluten-free and healthy. They're great for breakfast or snacking on the go!

Pumpkin Spice AND protein in ONE RECIPE? This recipe makes me so very happy and I'm sure you will be too.

These are different from the paleo protein bar that I shared earlier in terms of 1. flavor, but also texture.

Are they more like muffins than dense chewy bars? Like a cross between gluten-free pumpkin muffins and protein bars. It's difficult to describe, but I am sure you will like it.

Pinky swear.

You and I know we both want pumpkin spice in EVERYTHING. There is no safe thing. I've even made homemade microwave popcorn with pumpkin flavor. But I digress.

Why These Protein Bars Are the Best

A protein bar has it all. The protein bars I choose should have the nutrients that will keep me healthy, as well as the flavor to make my body feel full of energy and strong. I love making Slow Cooker Superfood Protein Bars, and who can resist a Cookies and Cream Paleo Protein Bar! There are many other delicious protein bar recipes here on the blog. Now you can add these Pumpkin Spice Protein Bars to your list of "must-try" items. These bars are loaded with pumpkin spice flavor, sweetened naturally and packed with protein to help you get through the busiest days. Yes, please!

Which protein powder is best for you?

The pumpkin protein bar recipe is very versatile, as you do not have to use any specific protein powder. Both whey and plant-based protein powders work well in this recipe, and both have a delicious taste and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference of curry and curried

There is no difference between the spellings. Both words refer the same thing: Indian food that uses meats and vegetables along with different seasonings.

Curry comes from Hindi word kari that means "to rub". It refers how spice mixtures are applied to food. Curried foods should be cooked until they are golden brown.

Curried dishes are no longer reserved for special occasions. They're now commonplace in India. They can include chicken, beef, lamb, fish, vegetables, and rice.

Curried dishes can be served alongside plain white or brown rice. A raita (a yogurt-based sauce) or a chutney is another common accompaniment.

What is the difference between cooking Whole and Ground Spices? Ground Spices?

There is no difference between cooking whole spices and with ground spices. After harvesting, all spices are ground. It doesn't make a difference in terms of quality.

But the price gap is significant. Whole spices are more expensive due to the labour required for processing them. But the flavour is worth it.

When you buy bulk spices, you may get additional discounts. An example: If you buy an entire bag full of cinnamon sticks, you might get a discount.

It is the same for cardamom and cloves as well as ginger, ginger, nutmeg, and ginger. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.

Whole spices also last longer than ground spices. Ground spices quickly lose their potency due to oxidation.

We recommend buying whole spices because they add flavor to your recipes.

For instance, you can make a delicious curry with whole turmeric instead of ground turmeric. You can also grind whole coriander leaves to make a spice mix for chicken dishes.

Grinding spices takes time. It is sensible to purchase large quantities when buying whole spices. So that you don’t run out of spices, it’s a smart move.

What is the importance of spices?

A spice is a seasoning that is used to enhance the flavor of food. Spices can come in many forms: powders or liquids, oils, pastes or seeds, as well as liquids and gums. They are also called condiments and flavours.

Spice up your meals with a variety of spices. Numerous spices can be added to dishes for extra flavour and excitement.

A few drops of hot sauce can make a soup taste better. Mixing a couple of cayenne peppers in a cup rice can make it even more delicious.

You can experiment with spice recipes best if you use fresh ingredients. Buy organic dried herbs. Fresh herbs can last for longer than dried.

Certain spices are essential in cooking. However, you may prefer to avoid some. If you have a history or liver disease, cinnamon sticks can be dangerous. Ginger also contains some coumarin but it is less concentrated. It's safe for people who don't have a history of liver problems.

Does Thai use ginger?

The answer is yes. Traditional Thai cuisine uses ginger extensively. Ginger is often used to make stir-fries and soups. It is also used in desserts, drinks, such a lassis.

Ginger is a common ginger plant in China, Japan, Korea, and elsewhere. Its origins can be traced back to more than 5,000years ago. It is believed to have originated in Southeast Asia, where it was cultivated for medicinal purposes.

Ginger is known to stimulate digestion and relieve nausea. It may even help prevent migraines. Ginger also helps to relieve muscle spasms, reduce joint pain, and treat arthritis.

In Thailand, ginger is most often used fresh. Ginger root is first cut into thin strips before drying and stored. Asian markets sell ginger root in cans and cans.

Statistics

• According to the McCormick Science Institute, indigenous Indian spices were cultivated as early as the 8th century BC in the gardens of Babylon. (spicecravings.com)
• It has been estimated that around 1,000 tons of pepper and 1,000 tons of other common spices were imported into Western Europe each year during the Late Middle Ages. (en.wikipedia.org)
• Their 14 to 20 percent essential oil content means that cloves have the highest concentration of aroma compounds of any spice. (masterclass.com)

How To

How do I decide which spices I want to buy?

It is important to know how you can choose the right spices and herbs to cook. There are hundreds of options, so where do you begin when deciding which ones to add to your pantry?

When choosing spices, there are three things you should consider: the flavour profile, shelf-life, and cost. Depending on whether you are cooking meat, fish, vegetables or pasta, the flavour profiles of spices will vary. So once you've decided on a category, you'll need to narrow down your choices based on these differences.

Also, shelf lives can vary widely. Some spices last forever, while others expire quickly. For example, cayenne pepper lasts for years, whereas oregano loses its potency after two months. Also, the price. The price of spices can vary from $1 per tablespoon to over $100 per ounce. This means you have to strike the right balance between quality and cost.

Also, consider whether organic or not organic ingredients. Organic products have fewer pesticides and chemicals that conventional products, which is better for your health as well as the environment. But they can often be more expensive so make sure you weigh the benefits against their costs.

Online shopping is the best option to find the right spices. Online retailers offer comprehensive information about every product, including price, reviews, ratings, and ingredients.

Once you've narrowed down the list, it's possible to order directly from the retailer. When you have received your items, make sure to keep them in an airtight container.
