Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree
  • 1/2 cup Nut Butter
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips (Optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup of nut butter, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix vigorously until creamy and well-blended, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gradually stir in 2 cups of rolled oats, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Continue mixing until a thick dough forms, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips to the dough, ensuring even distribution, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. With damp hands or a small scoop, take portions of the dough and roll them into bite-sized balls, roughly 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place each pumpkin protein ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet. This step takes approximately 10-15 minutes.
  5. Refrigerate the baking sheet with the Pumpkin Protein Balls for 20-30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
  6. Once chilled, transfer your delicious Pumpkin Protein Balls to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are measured accurately for the best texture and flavor in your pumpkin protein balls.
  • If your mixture is too sticky, add more oats or protein powder a tablespoon at a time.
  • Avoid adding excessive protein powder; too much can result in a chalky texture.
  • Refrigerating your pumpkin protein balls is crucial for maintaining their shape.
  • Feel free to experiment with spices or add-ins to customize your pumpkin protein balls.
