Instructions
Mix Main Ingredients
- In a large bowl, I combine ½ cup pumpkin purée, ½ cup almond butter, ⅓ cup maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1½ tsp pumpkin pie spice, ½ tsp cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, stirring until smooth for these Pumpkin Pie Energy Balls.
Add Dry Ingredients
- I mix in 1½ cups rolled oats and 2 tbsp flaxseed (if using), ensuring no dry spots remain. If desired, I fold in 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips for a touch of sweetness in these autumn energy bites.
Chill the Dough
- I cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to firm up the mixture, making it easier to roll into healthy fall bites.
Roll Into Balls
- Using a cookie scoop or my hands, I shape the chilled mixture into 1-inch balls, placing them on a parchment-lined tray for these pumpkin spice treats.
Store and Enjoy
- I transfer the balls to an airtight container and refrigerate, ready to savor as a cozy fall snack anytime.
Notes
- Substitute almond butter with peanut or sunflower seed butter
- For sweeter balls, increase maple syrup or add raisins
