Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats (gluten free if desired)
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup almond butter Use a good quality almond butter without added sugars or oils.
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup raw honey (sub maple syrup for vegan) Adjust sweetness to preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
  2. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out approximately 24 small balls. If the mixture feels a bit sticky, dampen your hands slightly to make rolling easier.
  3. Use your hands to roll each scoop into a ball and place them on a plate.
  4. Freeze for 10 minutes to help them hold their shape.

Notes

These protein balls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For long-term storage, freeze them for up to three months, separating the balls with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
