These no-bake Pumpkin Protein Balls are a quick and easy snack option that can be prepared in under 10 minutes. Packed with wholesome ingredients like pumpkin puree, oats, protein powder, and almond butter, sweetened with maple syrup, these protein balls are both vegan and gluten-free.

Ingredients

Rolled Oats:

1 cup gluten-free if desired

Vanilla Protein Powder:

2 scoops

Pumpkin Pie Spice:

1 teaspoon

Almond Butter:

½ cup

Pumpkin Puree:

⅓ cup

Raw honey:

¼ cup (substitute maple syrup for vegan)

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients: In a large bowl, mix rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, almond butter, pumpkin puree, and raw honey.
  2. Shape into balls: Use a small cookie scoop to form approximately 24 small balls. Roll them with your hands and place on a plate. Freeze for 10 minutes.

Notes

  • To make these with no peanut butter, substitute almond butter, sunbutter, or cashew butter.
  • For a low-carb option, omit oats and increase protein powder if needed.
  • Mix-ins ideas: Consider adding chocolate chips, chopped pecans, toasted coconut flakes, or your favorite seeds.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
