Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups gluten-free oats
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup vegan vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
  • 1/3 cup vegan dark chocolate chips

Method

  • Step 1

    In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients - gluten-free oats, cinnamon, vegan vanilla protein powder, and chia seeds. Mix them together until well incorporated.

  • Step 2

    Add the wet ingredients - creamy peanut butter, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, and nondairy milk - into the dry ingredient mixture. Use a rubber spatula to stir thoroughly, ensuring that the ingredients are fully combined.

  • Step 3

    The mixture should resemble a thick dough. It should not be too sticky or too dry. If it's too sticky, add more oats. If it's too dry, add nondairy milk by the tablespoon, mixing between each addition until you achieve the right consistency.

  • Step 4

    Fold in the vegan dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

  • Step 5

    With clean hands, take portions of the mixture and roll it into balls. You can make them as large or as small as you prefer. Place the formed balls into a large Tupperware container.

  • Step 6

    Cover the container and store it in the refrigerator. Let the Pumpkin Spice Protein Balls chill for at least 30 minutes to set and allow the flavors to meld together. These protein balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
