Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • 4 scoops vanilla protein powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ cup peanut butter or any nut butter of your choice
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup raw honey or maple syrup for a vegan option
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds

Instructions
 

Mix the Dry Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chia seeds. Stir everything together until it's evenly mixed.

Add the Wet Ingredients

  • Next, add the peanut butter, pumpkin puree, and raw honey (or maple syrup if you want a vegan version). Stir everything together until a thick, sticky dough forms. You may need to use a little elbow grease here!

Form the Protein Balls

  • Once the mixture is well-combined, use your hands or a small cookie scoop to form the dough into bite-sized balls. I usually make mine about 1 inch in diameter, but you can adjust based on your preference.

Chill the Pumpkin Protein Balls

  • Place the pumpkin protein balls on a baking sheet and pop them into the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up. Once they’re set, you can transfer them to an airtight container for easy grab-and-go snacking.
