These protein balls have all the right flavours for this kind of year … warm cinnamon, creamy almond butter and sweet pumpkin.
Ingredients
- 10 medjool dates
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1 1/2 cups oats
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 2 tsp all spice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp oat milk
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate
Instructions
- Please read all the recipe notes further down to ensure you get a successful end product!
- Combine all the ingredients except the oat milk in a blender and blend to a crumb.
- Add the oat milk and continue to blend. It will turn into a dough like consistency which will stick together when rolled into a ball.
- Shape into a log and cut into 12 regular disks. Roll all disks into balls.
- Place in the fridge for an hour to allow them to firm up.
- Melt 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Drizzle over the balls, then place them back into the fridge to let the chocolate harden.
- Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.
Notes:
* Do not use fresh pumpkin puree, only canned, as the puree will be too mushy and the dough too soft otherwise.
* If you want to increase the protein content just add another scoop of protein powder, (or remove completely if you prefer it that way.)
