Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- ¾ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ⅓ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup vanilla protein powder
- 6-8 tbsp canned pumpkin purée (see notes)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1
Add oats to a food processor or blender and pulse until coarse, about 15 seconds. This step is optional to break down the oats so they're less chewy - feel free to skip.
- 2
To the oats, add the almond flour, protein powder, 6 tbsp (90g) pumpkin, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Blend until just combined into a moist dough. Adjust with pumpkin (if too crumbly) or almond flour (if too wet) to preferred consistency.
- 3
Stir in mini chocolate chips.
- 4
Use a spoon or 1½ tbsp cookie scooper to portion out 12 pieces. Roll into balls - I recommend wearing gloves or lightly wetting your hands to prevent them from sticking as much.
- 5
Option to let protein balls firm up in the fridge for 10 minutes before enjoying.
