2 Quest Pumpkin Pie Bars
2 tbsp almond milk

Method
Preheat the oven to 350 F and prepare a muffin pan with 10 liners.
Chop the Quest Bars into small pieces and place them into a microwave safe bowl, reserving ¼ of them.
In the bowl, add the almond milk and microwave on high for 15 seconds and then stir until smooth.
Whisk in the pumpkin puree, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
