Pumpkin Protein Blondies

BATTER
​56g lite butter
56g unsweet applesauce
1 egg
178g pumpkin purée
56g TRUVIA brown sugar baking blend
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tbsp vanilla extract
53g Kodiak power cakes mix
16g coconut flour
62g Snickerdoodle protein (or protein of choice + 1tbsp cinnamon)
1/2 tsp baking powder

TOPPING (combine in small bowl)
8g Truvia baking blend (white sugar)
1 tsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350. Line 8x8 baking pan with foil and spray with cooking oil.

In a medium microwave safe bowl, heat butter and applesauce until butter is melted. Allow to cool a little before mixing in the egg (if it's too warm it will scramble it). Mix pumpkin, vanilla, brown sugar and vanilla into egg mixture. Add Kodiak, coconut, protein and baking powder (if using) and stir until just mixed. Don't over mix as this can make the blondies tough. Spread in pan, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar topping and bake for 25-27 minutes. Allow to cool in pan at least 30 minutes before cutting into 16 squares.
