Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Measure all the ingredients and have them ready.
- Mix everything together: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, peanut butter, pumpkin puree, honey, cinnamon, and chocolate chips. Stir until fully mixed.
- Shape into bites: Roll the mixture into small, 1-inch balls. If the mixture is too sticky, chill it for 10-15 minutes first.
- Chill to set: Place the bites on a parchment-lined plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve and store: Enjoy right away or store the bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- For a nut-free option, replace peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
- Add extra flavor with a pinch of nutmeg or ginger.
- You can also add a scoop of protein powder for extra post-workout fuel.
- If the mixture is too sticky to handle, add more oats or refrigerate it before shaping.
