Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats (gluten free if desired)
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup raw honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, almond butter, pumpkin puree, and raw honey. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and a sticky dough forms.
  2. Form Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion out around 24 equal-sized scoops. Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth, compact balls.
  3. Chill: Place the formed protein balls on a plate or tray and transfer to the freezer. Chill for at least 10 minutes to help them firm up and hold their shape.
  4. Store and Serve: After chilling, enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free oats to keep this recipe gluten-free.
  • Swap raw honey with maple syrup to make the recipe vegan.
  • Adjust the pumpkin pie spice to taste if you prefer more or less spice.
  • If the mixture is too wet, add a little more oats. If too dry, add a bit more pumpkin puree or almond butter.
  • These protein balls are great as a quick snack or post-workout energy booster.
