Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Energy Balls
Ingredients
- 3 cups dry, uncooked oatmeal (I used gluten-free thick cut oats)
- 1 cup all-natural Pumpkin Puree
- 1 cup all-natural Peanut butter, or Almond butter
- 2/3 cup pure maple syrup or raw honey
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 4-6 Tbsp ground flax seeds (if ‘dough’ seems too wet, then I add more ground flax, if it’s too dry, add less…start with a smaller quantity)
- 1 cup small chopped walnuts, chopped almonds, chopped peanuts, coconut flakes, or any combination of mix-ins that equal 1 cup total.
- 1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips. You could use dark chocolate/cacao pieces, or just skip them altogether.

- Combine all ingredients together in a medium bowl until very thoroughly mixed.
- Roll into balls of about 1″ in diameter (mine were a bit larger). Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Energy Balls Prep
