Ingredients

Rolled Oats:

1 cup gluten free if desired

Vanilla Protein Powder:

2 scoops

Pumpkin Pie Spice:

1 teaspoon

Almond Butter:

½ cup

Pumpkin Puree:

⅓ cup

Raw Honey:

¼ cup (sub maple syrup for vegan)

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients: In a large bowl, mix rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, almond butter, pumpkin puree, and raw honey.
  2. Form balls: Use a small cookie scoop to form approximately 24 small balls. Roll them with your hands and place them on a plate.
  3. Freeze: Freeze the balls for 10 minutes.

Notes

  • To make these pumpkin protein balls without peanut butter, you can substitute with almond butter, sunflower seed butter, cashew butter, or your preferred alternative.
  • If you want to reduce the carb content, you can omit the oats, but consider increasing the protein powder if the mixture is too wet.
  • Mix-ins ideas: Try adding chocolate chips, chopped pecans, toasted coconut flakes, or your favorite seeds for additional flavor and texture.
  • Storage: Keep the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Alternatively, freeze them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
