- ¾ cup rolled oats
- 2 Tbsp hemp seeds
- 3-4 Tbs almond flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Dark chocolate chips for drizzle optional
Instructions
- In a bowl, stir together pumpkin, peanut butter, and honey until smooth.
- Add protein powder, oats, hemp seeds, almond flour, and cinnamon. Mix well.
- Let the mixture rest 10 minutes so the oats absorb some moisture.
- If it still feels sticky, add 1 more Tbsp almond flour or oats. The mixture should hold shape without sticking to your hands.
- Roll into balls (about 1–1.5 Tbsp each).
- Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up, or freeze for longer storage.
- Optional: Melt some dark chocolate chips with a little bit of coconut oil and drizzle on top. Enjoy!
