Easy Pumpkin Protein Balls
Delicious no-bake treats that take just minutes to put together. Packed with protein, real pumpkin, and warm pumpkin spices. The perfect autumn treat!
Ingredients
- 2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 cup peanut butter
- ½ cup pure pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ¼ cup ground flax
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tablespoon cinnamon see note below
Instructions
- Add all of your ingredients in to a large bowl and stir to combine.
- Use your hands to roll the mixture into about 18 balls (about 1 ½ tablespoons of mixture per ball). If the mixture sticks to your hands, wet them with a bit of water.
- Cover and refrigerate the balls for at least one hour before eating. This will allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and become chewy instead of crunchy.

Notes
Storing: Balls should be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
Freezing: Layer your balls in a single layer on a cookie sheet and freeze until solid (approximately two hours). Once frozen you can transfer the balls to a freezer-safe container. Enjoy them straight from the freezer or let them sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to soften up.
