This pumpkin bake is pure autumn comfort! Creamy, lightly sweet, and packed with protein—it’s like pumpkin pie meets cheesecake, but completely guilt-free. Enjoy it warm for breakfast or chilled as a cozy dessert!
Ingredients (serves 6–8):

Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish.
Step 2 – Blend
In a blender or food processor, combine all ingredients until smooth.
Step 3 – Bake
Pour mixture into the prepared dish and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges are lightly golden.
