Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned or quick-cooking)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1/4 cup nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: Chocolate chips (mini or regular)
  • Optional: Chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
  • Optional: Dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine rolled oats, pumpkin puree, protein powder, nut butter, maple syrup, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined, forming a slightly sticky dough. If the mixture seems too dry, add a teaspoon of water or milk at a time until it comes together.
  3. If using add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or cranberries, gently fold them into the mixture.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  5. Using a spoon or your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  6. Place the rolled balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to firm up the protein balls.
  8. Once chilled, the Pumpkin Protein Balls are ready to be enjoyed. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

Experiment with different nut butters and add extra spices to customize your protein balls.
