Spooktacular Pumpkin Oatmeal Protein Cookies

Pumpkin Spice Meets Protein Power 🎃 🍪

Fall cravings hit different—especially when pumpkin spice season rolls around. The problem? Most pumpkin treats pack more sugar than substance. These Pumpkin Oatmeal Protein Cookies flip the script: cozy, chewy, pumpkin-packed, AND loaded with protein so you can crush cravings and stay on track.

Ingredients:

½ Cup Instant Oats
1–2 scoops Max Effort Protein Powder (Whey or Plant both work!)
1.5 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 tsp Baking Powder
Pinch of Salt
2 tsp Light Butter (or coconut oil/regular butter)
¼ cup + 2 tbsp Pumpkin Puree
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
¼ Cup Sugar-Free Syrup (or regular Maple Syrup)

Directions:

Whisk together dry ingredients.
In another bowl, mix butter, pumpkin, and vanilla. Stir in syrup.
Combine wet + dry until just incorporated.
Chill dough for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or use silicone molds.
Drop dough in rounded scoops or portion evenly into molds.
Bake 10–13 minutes. Let cool.
Enjoy!
