Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients: oats, protein powder, pumpkin puree, almond butter, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and chocolate chips.
- Mix well until a thick dough forms. If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of water or milk. If it's too wet, add more oats.
- Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
For best results, use a cookie scoop to form uniform balls. If mixture is too sticky, wet your hands slightly before rolling. These can be frozen for up to 3 months – just thaw in refrigerator before eating.
