Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons paleo flour
- 1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup cashew butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the paleo flour, vanilla protein powder, and pumpkin pie spice thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Heat wet ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the cashew butter, maple syrup, and pumpkin puree for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until the mixture becomes smooth and easier to combine.
- Combine mixtures: Pour the warm wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well until fully incorporated, forming a dough-like consistency.
- Chill dough: Place the dough in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up, making it easier to roll into balls.
- Form energy balls: Roll the chilled dough into approximately 20 small balls and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet for convenience and to prevent sticking.
- Refrigerate to set: Refrigerate the energy balls until they are fully set and firm. Once ready, store them in an airtight container to keep fresh.
Notes
- Make sure to use paleo flour that suits your dietary needs, such as almond or coconut flour.
- If you prefer a sweeter snack, you can increase the maple syrup slightly.
- Store the energy balls in the refrigerator for up to one week for optimal freshness.
- These energy balls are freezer-friendly and can be stored for longer periods. Just thaw briefly before eating.
- Feel free to add mix-ins like chopped nuts or seeds for extra texture.
