Combine the cashew butter, pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl and stir together until smooth using a whisk or rubber spatula.
Sprinkle the collagen protein powder into the wet mixture while stirring. Continue to stir until there are no streaks or lumps and the collagen is well incorporated.
Add the remaining dry ingredients to the bowl. Stir using a rubber spatula. The mixture will become very stiff but continue to work the dough until it is even in color with no streaks.
