Notes

• If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can use 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon ground ginger.

• You can substitute almond butter for any other nut butter. Macro changes will be negligible.

• You can substitute the vanilla whey protein powder for a different flavor such as chocolate, pumpkin, or chai spice for even more pumpkin flavor.

• To make this recipe vegan, substitute the whey powder for plant based protein powder and the honey for maple syrup or agave nectar. Macros and consistency of batter may vary.
