MINI PROTEIN PUMPKIN PIE

'Tis the season for all things pumpkin! I don't know about y'all but this is my FAVORITE time of year to bake all the goodies! In the ingredients list you will find links to what I used. I am not sponsored and make no profit from mentioning these companies. I simply want to make your life easier :)

Go ahead, play around in the kitchen, get the kids involved, make a mess! This is quite honestly a fail proof recipe that even a first time baker could make.

Ingredients

• 14g (1/2 scoop) Vanilla protein powder

• 1/4 cup liquid egg whites

• 1/2 cup pumpkin purée

• 1/8 cup almond milk (unsweetened)

• 1 tsp stevia/sucralose (or other sugar alternative)

• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 3 mini Keebler pie crusts

Optional for cheesecake topping:

• 1 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt

• 1.5 tbsp sugar free, fat free cheesecake pudding mix (Jell-o brand)

Instructions

Mix ingredients until smooth.

Pour mixture into 3 pie crusts (they will slightly rise while baking but will go back down).

Bake for 15 minutes at 400F, then an additional 25-30 minutes at 325F. If using a convection oven drop to 300F instead of 325F.

Optional: Allow pies to cool for about 15- 20 minutes. Mix the yogurt and cheesecake pudding mix. Place cheesecake topping in a plastic baggy or a pipping bag. Once pies are cooled, swirl the cheesecake topping as desired on top of pies. Enjoy!
