Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup no-sugar-added natural creamy nut butter (peanut, almond, or sunbutter)
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree

Instructions

  1. Mix ingredients: Place all dry and wet ingredients in a large bowl and stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and sticky enough to hold together.
  2. Shape the balls: Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop or your hands to portion the mixture into evenly sized balls for consistent serving sizes.
  3. Chill to firm up: Refrigerate the formed energy balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set and become firm, making them easy to handle and eat.

Notes

  • Use natural nut butters without added sugar or salt for the healthiest option.
  • Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to your preferred sweetness level.
  • Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Feel free to substitute dark chocolate chips with raisins or nuts for different textures.
