Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Balls

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups dry uncooked oatmeal
  • 1 cup all-natural Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 cup all-natural Almond butter or Peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup or raw honey
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 Tbsp ground flax seeds if ‘dough’ seems too wet, then I add more ground flax
  • 1 cup small chopped walnuts chopped almonds, chopped peanuts, coconut flakes, or any combination of mix-ins that equal 1 cup total.
  • 1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips.

Method
 

  1. Combine all ingredients together in a medium bowl until very thoroughly mixed.
  2. Roll into balls of about 1″ish in diameter
  3. Place on a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper & freeze one hour.
  4. Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week. I like to keep mine in the freezer and they last much longer!

A little help in the kitchen

Lori’s ingredient notes: Use plain pumpkin purée and well-stirred almond butter. Keep the combined mix-ins to the amount in the recipe so the mixture can still hold together.

Prep ahead: Measure the oats and spices and chop the mix-ins first. If the mixture is sticky, chill it briefly before rolling.

Make it a snack: Serve a couple of small bites with fresh fruit.

Save some for later: Freeze the rolled balls in a single layer before packing them into a container. Keep refrigerated portions cold, and thaw frozen portions in the refrigerator as needed.

Sticky mixture, meet your helper: An OXO medium cookie scoop helps portion the pumpkin-and-oat mixture before you roll it into balls. Adjust each portion to the size called for in the recipe, then chill as directed. A little less sticky scooping means more time for snacking.
