Oh man, I wanted to create an alternative blondie style bar, using up some leftover pumpkin, white chocolate and goat cheese, but I never expected it would be this good! Somehow the flavours came together in a magical combination, sweet, smooth and with a little punch from the goat cheese. Just lovely!
Keto Pumpkin Goat Cheesecake Blondies Recipe
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup vanilla-flavoured whey isolate
- 2½ tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 6 oz goat cheese (*It’ll also work with cream cheese if that’s all you have.)
- ¼ cup Lakanto granulated monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, (freshly grated if possible)
- ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt, white pepper
- ½ cup unsweetened pumpkin purée
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon glucomannan (*May sub xanthum gum, but glucomannan is healthier.)
- ¼ cup Keto white chocolate chunks
Directions:
Line an 8x8" square pan with parchment paper. Sift together whey protein, coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, spices and glucomannan together and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350F. Beat butter, goat cheese and sweetener together until fluffy. Add in the egg, vanilla extract and pumpkin purée to the butter mixture, mix to combine. Add dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated.
Fold in the white chocolate chunks reserving a handful for the top. Spread batter into the lined pan spreading with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining of the white chocolate chunks on the top. Bake in the middle rack for 25-30 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan on a cooling rack until it is safe to handle. Lift the blondies out of the pan using the parchment paper and place on cooling rack to cool completely. Slice into bars and serve.
