Servings: 7
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups quick oats
- 1/8 tsp salt 1/4 tsp if using unsalted PB
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
- 3/4 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup
- 3-4 tbsp mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Start by adding quick oats to a food processor. Blend on high until oats resemble flour.
- Next add salt, ground flax, protein powder, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon and pulse until ingredients are mixed evenly with the oat flour.
- Add peanut butter, pumpkin puree, and maple syrup. Process on high until the mixture forms a large ball in the food processor and ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
- Gently stir mini chocolate chips in the food processor or add to a mixing bowl and mix in.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop out ~14 rounded tablespoon sized balls. Roll balls gently in your hands until the outside is smooth.
