Fall’s here and you know what that means … PUMPKIN SPICE!

Last October, I created a pumpkin spice recipe inspired by Diablo III. This time around, I decided to focus on another Blizzard game.

With beta around the corner, it’s time for me to start cooking up some Overwatch inspired snacks. That’s right, we’re hopping aboard the Overwatch hype train! CHOO CHOO. But this time, the hype train is fueled by PUMPKIN PROTEIN COOKIES!

Cheers love, the cookies are here!

2. 2 tablespoons of agave nectar
3. 1 egg
4. 1/2 cup, 1 teaspoon of almond milk

6. 2 pumpkin pie Quest Bars
7. 1 cup of oats
8. 1 square of dark chocolate
