Ingredients
  • 1 cup pumpkin
  • 2 Tbsp flax seed (+6 tablespoons water)
  • 2 scoops Chocolate Protein Powder
  • ½ Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
  • sea salt (optional)
Instructions
  1. See notes to get started.
Raw/Fridge Balls
  1. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Use a mini cookie scoop and form into balls.
  3. Place in fridge for 3-4 hours to cool.
  4. Additional option: once chilled, roll in some homemade granola (see image below).
Baked Balls
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Spray mini muffin pan (find a non-toxic one, if at all possible).
  3. Using the other ½ of the "batter," fill the tin (I was able to get 12 minis).
  4. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
  5. Once cooled, transfer to a plate.
Notes
I split the "batter" up into 2 because my goal was to try these raw and to try them baked warm.
