Fall Inspired Protein Packed Pumpkin Peanut Butter Oat Squares

It's that time of year to enjoy all things pumpkin and spice and today I'm sharing a recipe for a healthy protein packed treat. And it has chocolate in it, even better!


This healthy treat only takes about 20 minutes to make and it's a great grab-and-go for busy mornings and quite delicious with your morning coffee. It's even dairy and gluten free!
