Description

These Pumpkin Energy Balls are a perfect guilt-free, no-bake snack designed to fuel your busy schedule. They blend the comforting taste of pumpkin pie with nutrient-dense ingredients for a satisfying, on-the-go treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup no salt added creamy drippy almond butter
  • ⅓ cup canned pumpkin
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • salt, to taste
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to ensure spices are evenly distributed.
  2. In a separate medium-sized bowl, measure out the almond butter, canned pumpkin, and honey. Stir thoroughly until completely smooth and well-combined.
  3. Pour the wet pumpkin-nut butter mixture into the dry oat and spice blend. Mix vigorously with a sturdy spatula until a thick, cohesive dough forms, ensuring all dry pockets are incorporated.
  4. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. This crucial step allows the oats and binders to absorb moisture, firming the mixture for easier rolling.
  6. Once chilled, scoop out portions (about 1.5 tablespoons) and roll between your palms to form neat spheres. If desired, roll each ball through your chosen optional coating (e.g., shredded coconut, cocoa powder).
  7. Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and return to the refrigerator for another 15-30 minutes to set completely. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks, or freeze for 2-3 months.
