Pumpkin Spice Energy Balls
Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 0 mins | Total: 20 mins | Quantity: 15 Bites
Ingredients
- 5 organic Medjool dates – stones removed
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 heaped tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 level tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cup quinoa flakes
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
Instructions
- Put the dates, pumpkin puree, peanut butter, cinnamon and nutmeg in a food processor and blend until the dates are well blended with the rest of the ingredients
- Add the quinoa flakes and oats and pulse till they're just mixed through
- Tip into a container and chill for around 30 minutes - this makes them easier to roll
- Once chilled, simply roll into bite sized balls, put into a sealable container and store in the fridge for up to 1 week
Notes
- If you've had your dates in the fridge for a while, soften them up by popping in a bowl and covering with boiling water for 5 minutes before adding to the food processor and blending
- I've used finely(ish!) chopped nuts and organic baobab powder to coat the bites - you can leave them plain or try with your own coatings! Be sure to let me know what you try!
