Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons paleo flour I love using Bob's Red Mill, but coconut or almond flour works just as well
- 1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup cashew butter I use Betsy's Best, but any nut butter you like will work perfectly
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey whichever you prefer
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Start by mixing the flour, protein powder, and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl until they’re well blended.
- In a separate bowl, warm up the cashew butter, maple syrup (or honey), and pumpkin puree in the microwave for 30 seconds to a minute. You want it just softened enough so everything stirs together smoothly.
- Now, pour this warm cashew butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir it all up until you have a nice, even dough. Pop the bowl in the freezer for about 10 minutes—just enough to firm up the dough so it’s easier to handle.
- Once it's ready, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough into about 20 small balls and place them on the sheet. Let them chill in the fridge until they’re set, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy your tasty little bites whenever you need a quick energy boost!
