Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats (use gluten-free oats if needed)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/4 cup almond butter or peanut butter (natural, no added sugar)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or dark chocolate chunks (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional, for added nutrition)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  • Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, pumpkin puree, almond or peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and optional ground ginger. Stir until the mixture is well combined and sticky.
  • Add Optional Ingredients: If using, fold in the mini chocolate chips, chia seeds or flaxseeds, and finely chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  • Shape the Balls: Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Chill: Refrigerate the energy balls for at least 20 minutes to help them firm up.
  • Serve or Store: Enjoy immediately, or store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

  • Customization: Feel free to adjust the spices or swap the add-ins to suit your taste. You can also roll the balls in shredded coconut or additional chopped nuts for extra texture.
  • Storage: These energy balls can also be frozen for up to 3 months; just thaw them in the refrigerator before eating.
