Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 8x8” baking pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk protein powder, flour, almond butter powder, coconut flour, sweetener, pumpkin spice and baking soda.
In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, almond butter, milk, egg and egg whites.
Add dry mix to wet, and gently fold until just combined.
DO NOT OVER-MIX or protein powder will make the bars dense.
Pour batter into pan, and bake for 22-25 minutes.
A tester inserted into the center should come out clean and center springy to touch.
Let cool in pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Frosting:
Let cool completely first.
If cream cheese is solid, place in a bowl and microwave for about 15 seconds to soften.
Add yogurt and protein powder and whisk to combine.
If too thick, add milk a teaspoon at a time.
Spread over base and cut into 16 pieces.
