These Pumpkin Protein Balls are a no-bake, high-protein snack made with wholesome ingredients like almond flour, pumpkin purée, and cashew butter. Each bite is infused with cozy pumpkin spice and sweetened naturally with maple syrup.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 20 balls

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cashew butter
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin purée (not pie filling)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix almond flour, protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and mini chocolate chips.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together cashew butter, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir until a thick dough forms.
  4. Roll into tablespoon-sized balls and place on a tray or plate.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • Use tahini or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
  • Oat flour can be substituted for almond flour if needed.
  • Customize with add-ins like chopped pecans, dried cranberries, or white chocolate chips.
  • If dough is too sticky, refrigerate before rolling; if too dry, add more pumpkin purée.
