Protein Pumpkin Balls Ingredients:
¾ Cup smooth peanut butter (natural)
¼ Cup pumpkin puree
¼ Cup honey
¾ Cup rolled oats
3 Scoops vanilla protein powder
½ Tsp ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp mini chocolate chips
6-8 Pretzel sticks (broken in half)
Protein Pumpkin Balls Instructions:
1) Combine peanut butter, pumpkin, honey, oats, protein powder and cinnamon in a bowl. Mix using a spatula until everything is combined.
2) Shape into 12-14 balls (pumpkins)
3) Arrange chocolate chips in the shape of a jack-o’-lantern face. We found that they stick best when the pointy side is stuck in the pumpkin and the flat side is facing out.
4) Add a pretzel piece into the top of each pumpkin to make a stem.
5) Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and then enjoy! You can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. (Although we don’t think they will last that long)
