Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds for topping

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine pumpkin puree, protein powder, almond butter, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  2. Mix until well combined and a dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more protein powder. If it’s too dry, add a teaspoon of almond milk or water.
  3. Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter.
  4. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. If desired, press chopped nuts or seeds onto the tops of the cups.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • These cups are best enjoyed chilled.
  • You can substitute other nut butters like peanut butter or cashew butter.
  • For a different flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
  • These are a great make-ahead snack for busy weeks.
