Pumpkin Spice Protein Balls

Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
2 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
1 Tbsp maple syrup (I use Lakanto’s monk fruit maple syrup)
1/2 cup protein powder
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
Optional Topping: shredded coconut, white chocolate (I use Lily’s white chocolate chips that are sweetened with stevia)

Directions
1. In a bowl, mix together ingredients (except for toppings).

2. Put mixture in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. Since there is no binder like flour, a cold mixture will hold together well.

3. Roll mixture into bite-sized balls with hands.

4. If using toppings: place shredded coconut on a flat plate. Roll balls in it and drizzle with melted chocolate.

5. Keep balls in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!t stand out
