Pumpkin Protein Balls

These pumpkin protein balls are the perfect healthy snack for fall! They’re packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, and they’re naturally sweetened with maple syrup.

  • Total Time: 45 mins
  • Yield: 22 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients: oats, pumpkin puree, protein powder, maple syrup, almond butter, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and chocolate chips.
  2. Mix well until a thick dough forms. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more pumpkin puree or maple syrup. If it's too wet, add more oats or protein powder.
  3. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

For best results, use a scoop to ensure uniform ball sizes. These can be frozen for longer storage; thaw in the refrigerator before eating. If the mixture is too sticky, wet your hands slightly before rolling.
