Calories: 125kcal
- 1/3 cup Pumpkin puree (87g)
- 3 Tbsp Peanut butter, natural (48g)
- 1 Tbsp Honey (21g)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups Old fashioned rolled oats (100g)
- 2/3 cup Whey protein, vanilla (62g)
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp Cloves, ground
- 1/4 tsp Ginger, ground
- 4 packets sweetener (stevia, etc)
- 2 Tbsp Pumpkin seeds (optional)
Add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl.
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly.
Mash the ingredients together by pressing down with a large spoon or spatula until it congeals into a cookie-dough-like consistency.
If the ingredients remain too dry or powdery, add a tablespoon at a time of wet ingredients (pumpkin, milk, or just water) to get the desired consistency. If too sticky or wet, you can add a little more dry ingredients (oats and protein powder).
Once the ingredients have become semi-solid, form them into balls with your hands.
Eat right away, or store in refrigerator to cool and solidify more (in a sealed container or ziplock bag).
