Ingredients
  

1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)

1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter of choice)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or raisins (optional)

1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds (optional for extra crunch)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and smooth.

    In another bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until evenly distributed.

      Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until well combined. If the mixture seems too sticky, you can add a bit more oats or protein powder until you reach a thick dough-like consistency.

        If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chips, raisins, or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

          Using your hands, scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.

            Once all the mixture has been rolled into bites, place the baking sheet in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up.

              After they’ve chilled, store the pumpkin protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze them for longer storage.
