Instructions

Combine the oats, vanilla protein powder, and pumpkin pie spice in a large mixing bowl and stir well.
Add the almond butter, pumpkin puree, and honey (or maple syrup) to the dry mixture.
Stir all ingredients until a thick, cohesive dough forms.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out approximately 22 to 24 small balls.
Roll each portion between your palms to smooth the surface and place them on a plate or lined baking sheet.
Place the plate in the freezer for 10 minutes to set the texture.
Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.

Notes

If the dough is too wet, add a tablespoon more oats.
Use certified gluten-free oats if you have a gluten sensitivity.
For a vegan version, ensure your protein powder and sweetener (maple syrup) are plant-based.
