Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

1/3 cup nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup ground flaxseed or chia seeds

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup mini chocolate chips or raisins (optional)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds, optional)

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed (or chia seeds), pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, nut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed. If it's too dry, you can add a little more nut butter or honey/maple syrup.

        Add Optional Ingredients: If you’re using chocolate chips or chopped nuts, fold them into the mixture at this stage.

          Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes. This helps the balls hold their shape better.

            Form Snack Balls: Once the mixture is chilled, use your hands to roll it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get approximately 12-16 balls depending on size.

              Store or Serve: Place the energy snack balls in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, or frozen for longer shelf life. Enjoy them as a quick breakfast, snack, or post-workout boost!
