Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond butter, and honey or maple syrup until smooth.
  2. Add the rolled oats, protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, salt, and chia seeds. Mix until fully combined.
  3. If using, fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  4. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes to make it easier to roll.
  5. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll into balls with your hands.
  6. Place the energy balls on a lined plate or baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more rolled oats or protein powder. If it feels too dry, add a small splash of pumpkin puree or a drizzle of honey. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
