Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/3 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter of your choice)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon pumpkin spice blend (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice)

1/4 cup ground flaxseed

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional for crunch)

1/4 cup chocolate chips or dried cranberries (optional for sweetness)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, canned pumpkin puree, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and pure vanilla extract. Then, sprinkle in the pumpkin spice blend, ground flaxseed, and a pinch of salt.

    Mix Well: Using a sturdy spoon or rubber spatula, thoroughly stir all the ingredients together until the mixture is uniformly combined. If the mixture seems too wet, incorporate a bit more rolled oats or flaxseed. Conversely, if it’s too dry, add an additional splash of almond butter or honey.

      Incorporate Add-ins: For added texture and flavor, gently fold in the optional chopped pecans or walnuts, and the optional chocolate chips or dried cranberries until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

        Form the Energy Balls: Once the mixture is well integrated, take about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and, using your hands, roll it into a ball. Repeat this process until all of the mixture has been shaped into energy balls.

          Chill: Arrange the energy balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and set properly.

            Serve and Store: These delightful pumpkin spice energy balls make for a perfect snack or a quick breakfast option! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze them for up to three months for a later date.
