Instructions

In a large bowl, combine oats, protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, almond butter, pumpkin puree, and honey (or maple syrup). Mix until well combined.
Using a small cookie scoop, portion out approximately 24 small balls. Roll them gently with your hands to form smooth balls.
Place the protein balls on a plate and freeze for 10 minutes to firm up.
Optional: Add mix-ins like chocolate chips, chopped pecans, toasted coconut flakes, or seeds for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

Nut-Free Option: Substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter or cashew butter.

Low-Carb Option: Omit oats and add extra protein powder to maintain consistency.

Flavor Boost: Mix in chocolate chips, chopped pecans, toasted coconut, or seeds.

Vegan Option: Use maple syrup instead of honey.
