These Pumpkin Energy Balls are packed with fiber, protein and healthy fats for energy. The perfect addition to a quick lunch or to serve for an afternoon snack.
I always start on the low end for the ranges of pumpkin and spices. Once mixed, taste and add more if desired.
Mixture will be slightly sticky when forming into balls. Wet your hands lightly or freeze the mixture for a little bit to help with this if you want. Or just press into a pan and cut into bars.
Here’s the original recipe: 1/2 cup pepitas, 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, 1 Tablespoon chia seeds, 1/2 cup almonds, 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1 cup chopped & pitted dates, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ginger
