Ingredients

3/4 cup oat flour
2/3 cup pumpkin puree
2/3 cup cashew butter
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Place all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Put the mixture in the fridge for 30-45 minutes to firm up.
Roll the pumpkin mixture into small balls, about 1 1/2 tablespoons in size each.
Store in the fridge or in the freezer until you're ready to enjoy.

Notes

Can substitute flax seeds for the chia seeds

How to Store

Refrigerate for up to 5 days
Freeze up to 3 months

Freezing Instructions

To keep the balls from sticking to each other, first freeze them in a single layer (without touching each other) on a baking sheet. When they're fully frozen, you can move them to a container or plastic freezer bag.

When you're ready to eat them, simply let them thaw for a few minutes.
