Ingredients:

For the Pie Crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

For the Pumpkin Filling:

  • 1 can pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk (any type you prefer)
  • 1/3 cup Osoaa protein powder (unflavored)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

For the Pie Crust:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter or coconut oil, and honey or maple syrup. Mix until the crumbs are well coated.

  3. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan, making sure to create an even crust on the bottom and up the sides.

  4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until it turns golden brown. Remove and allow it to cool.

For the Pumpkin Filling:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, Greek yogurt, and milk until well combined.

  2. Add the Osoaa protein powder, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to the pumpkin mixture. Stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the filling is smooth.

  3. Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared graham cracker crust.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the pie is set around the edges and slightly jiggly in the center.

  5. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least a few hours to let it set completely.

  6. Slice and serve your Protein Pumpkin Pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of Greek yogurt, and a sprinkle of additional pumpkin spice for that extra festive Halloween touch.

There you have it – a Protein Pumpkin Pie that celebrates the flavors of fall while providing a protein-packed punch, just in time for Halloween.
