Yes, it’s more fudge…and yes, it’s more pumpkin. How about we all just eat fudge and pumpkin, and pumpkin fudge for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? I could seriously live off of pumpkin right now. (I’m not gonna lie, I kind of am.. I seriously have pumpkin in some way or another every.single.day.)
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons natural almond butter
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1⁄2 banana
- 1 scoop ANSI Whey 25 Ice Cream Vanilla protein powder
- 1 heaping teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 3 packets stevia (I used Sweet Leaf brand you could also use 2 Tbsp of coconut palm sugar, or 2 Tbsp of pure maple syrup)
Instructions
- Heat coconut oil in a saucepan at medium heat. Add in pumpkin puree and sautee until warmed (about 3 minutes).
- Meanwhile, in a bowl mix together almond butter, stevia, banana, and almond milk. (The mixture may be a little clumpy from the banana but that is fine!)
- Add the almond butter mixture to the saucepan with the pumpkin and oil and stir together.
- Stir in the cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and protein powder.
- Transfer the entire mixture to a food processor or blender and process/blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a muffin mold/brownie pan/cake pan and garnish with cinnamon. (I used a silicone muffin mold which makes it very easy to pop the fudge out when it’s done, alternatively you can make these into bars by using a brownie pan)
- Freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Store the fudge in the freezer and thaw for 10 minutes before serving as it will soften rather quickly at room temperature.
