Fall-perfect High Protein Pumpkin Spread made with collagen peptides and protein powder will be your new favorite! An easy, healthy and sugar-free recipe for a breakfast, snack or dessert.
Jump to RecipeFunny story here – I posted a story on Instagram this one time of a carrot hummus + goat cheese toast, and someone thought it was a pumpkin spread.
The combination actually sounded absolutely FIRE 🔥 so I wanted to give that a try.
But then I thought of trying to make it a little extra high protein by using cottage cheese instead of goat cheese. It really did turn out to be one FIRE of a combination.
And so here we are!
Best part is that this recipe is super duper easy to make and actually has the most minimal ingredients too!
Ingredients for High Protein Pumpkin Spread
This protein Oreo spread uses sugar free chocolate sandwich cookies for a healthy recipe that you can indulge in without guilt. Here’s all you need.
- Pumpkin Puree; Not the pumpkin pie filling; This is the plain pumpkin puree.
- Vanilla Protein Powder; This is the source of protein and some sweetness in the pumpkin spread recipe. I recommend a whey-casein blend from Quest Nutrition.
I’m sure you can use a whey isolate too! - Unflavored Collagen for an extra boost of protein. I use this one from American Dream Nut Butter. Use my code HAYLSKITCHEN when you buy to get a discount.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice
Healthy Vegan Pumpkin Spread?
This healthy pumpkin spread recipe is really to make Vegan – Just use a plant-based protein powder like KOS Vanilla.
Be sure to taste and add stevia sweetener if needed.
Also avoid the collagen; You can use some unflavored protein powder like this one from KOS instead.
Dairy Free?
To make the spread in itself dairy free, use a vegan/plant-based protein powder.
Gluten Free and Guilt Free Spread?
This guilt free pumpkin spread recipe is gluten free by default! Just make sure you use a gluten free bread if you want to make the toast.
How to make Protein Pumpkin Pie Spread from Scratch?
This protein pumpkin pie spread might just be the easiest recipe I’ve made! You actually just mix the ingredients in a bowl!
