Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups (135g) rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (120g) pumpkin puree (canned, not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 cup (125g) almond butter (unsalted preferred)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional)
- 1/4 cup (45g) mini dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together rolled oats, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and chia seeds if using.
- Add pumpkin puree, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mix. Stir thoroughly until evenly incorporated and sticky but manageable.
- Fold in mini dark chocolate chips if using.
- Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm up the mixture.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon-sized portions (15-20 grams each) and roll into tight balls. Wet hands slightly or chill longer if mixture is too sticky.
- Arrange the balls on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before enjoying.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
Chill mixture before rolling to prevent sticking. Adjust moisture by adding pumpkin puree or almond milk if too dry, or oats/chia seeds if too wet. Toast oats lightly for a nuttier flavor. Fold ingredients gently to maintain texture. Lightly oil or wet hands to roll balls easily. Store in airtight container in fridge up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months. Flavors improve after chilling for 1-2 days.
