Cuisine: Snack
Serves: 15 balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, pumpkin puree, peanut butter, honey, and pumpkin spice. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a consistent, sticky mixture.
- Use clean hands or a cookie scoop to shape the mixture into uniform round balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter. The mixture should be slightly sticky but firm enough to hold its shape.
- If the mixture feels too wet, add a few extra tablespoons of rolled oats to help bind the ingredients. If too dry, incorporate additional pumpkin puree or honey.
- Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. For firmer texture, refrigerate the power balls for 30 minutes before serving.
- Store the power balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage, lasting up to 2 weeks.
- Optional: Roll the finished power balls in additional pumpkin pie spice, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut for extra flavor and texture variation.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Work with ingredients at room temperature for the smoothest mixture and easiest ball formation.
- Consistency is Key: If your mixture feels too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before shaping to make rolling easier.
- Customization Hack: Experiment with different nut butters like almond or cashew butter for unique flavor profiles.
- Texture Tip: Toast your oats lightly before mixing for an enhanced nutty flavor and extra crunch.
- Storage Wisdom: Always store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent them from drying out.
- Meal Prep Magic: These power balls are perfect for advanced preparation - make a big batch and have healthy snacks ready all week!
