Pumpkin Energy Balls

Pumpkin again? Absofreakinlutely.⁠

This time, it's a small twist to a favorite... PUMPKIN Energy Balls. A balanced snack that puts a fall pep in your step. 🎃⁠⠀ ⁠⠀

Pumpkin Energy Balls 

1 cup old-fashioned oats⁠

2/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (add extra 1/2 cups oats if you don't like coconut)⁠

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or any nut butter)⁠

1/2 cup pumpkin puree⁠

1/2 cup ground flaxseed⁠

1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate chips

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup⁠

1 tablespoon chia seeds⁠

1 tablespoon vanilla extract⁠

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon ⁠

1 tablespoon pumpkin spice⁠

Directions:

1. Stir everything together in a large bowl until combined.⁠

2. Roll into 1-inch balls. I like to use a mini ice cream scoop. If they’re not sticking together, add a little more nut butter or pop in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up before rolling.⁠

3. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for a week or up to 3 months in the freezer.⁠

Enjoy!

My girls call these cookies. Let's keep the truth a secret between us, ok?
