PSA: If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s pumpkin baking mix, you can use another brand, just make sure you swap the 1/2 cup (most mixes call for a half cup) with the large banana and 42 grams of Iced Oatmeal Cookie as well as 1 whole egg and 1 egg white for the 2 eggs normally called for. This will lower the macros significantly, especially the fat!*Macros will vary depending on which mix is used.
