Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (82g) vegan vanilla protein powder
- 1 Tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the vegan vanilla protein powder, almond butter, pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, and dark chocolate chips until everything is well combined.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture feels too dry to hold together, add more pumpkin purée or almond butter a little at a time until it becomes easier to form balls. Conversely, if the mixture is too wet and won’t roll, add a bit more protein powder.
- Form Balls: Using a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie dough scoop, shape the mixture into 12 evenly sized balls.
- Store Properly: Place the protein balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze them for up to 3 months to maintain freshness.
