Pumpkin Spice Protein Balls
8 ingredients · 15 minutes· 15 servings
These tasty Pumpkin Spice Protein Balls make for a quicky & easy snack or dessert!
I like to have dessert every night. Something small (& sometimes something big!) to satisfy my sweet tooth. And to avoid gut issues like bloating, gas, cramping & messed up BM’s, I look for low-sugar treats.
These balls are not only low in sugar, but have a decent amount of protein & fiber. If you have 15 min, whip up a batch so you have a healthy grab & go snack or dessert that will satisfy your pumpkin spice cravings!
Directions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add all ingredients except the chocolate, Maldon salt & coconut to your food processor or a large bowl.
Combine until a thick sticky dough forms. Too sticky? Add a little more oat flour or protein powder.
Taste & adjust seasonings. Wet your hands, form into bite-size balls & place on your prepared pan.
Melt chocolate in the microwave or using a double boiler & drizzle over the balls.
Sprinkle with Maldon salt & coconut.
Freeze until set (about 30 min), transfer to an airtight container & store in the freezer.
Grab a ball when you’re craving a sweet, need a snack or want some pumpkin spice in your day!
