Prep Time 15 minutes
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (adjust to desired sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Combine all ingredients (pumpkin puree, protein powder, rolled oats, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt) in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be moist and firm enough to hold its shape.
  3. Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized spheres. Aim for uniform sizes for even portions.
  4. Place the formed spheres on a parchment-lined tray.
  5. Chill them for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. This helps them firm up completely.
  6. Store your finished bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
