Pumpkin Spice Energy Balls are scrumptious little snacks that will have you wishing pumpkin season lasted all year long! It can you know? No one says you have to stop eating pumpkin everything just because the temperature rises!
Energy balls are perfect for on the go snacks, a sweet treat to get you over cravings or put them on a cookie platter and watch people gobble them up just for fun.
Energy bites are really forgiving and make it easy to get creative. Don’t like pecans, use almonds or walnuts. Like a tropical flavour, roll them in unsweetened coconut flakes, add them to the mix or both if you are crazy for coconut.
Instructions
No baking needed. Just put all the ingredients in a bowl. Mix with a spoon or fork and roll into balls. Nothing to it! I like to make a batch every week and keep in the fridge so I always have them ready when I am looking for a great snack on the go.
Tips For Making Great Energy Balls
- You should try and stick to a ratio 1:1 dry ingredients to sticker soft ingredients. This way the balls will come together enough to form a smooth ball and be too dry that they crumble and fall apart. You really can’t mess things up. Too dry, add more peanut butter, pumpkin or dates. To wet? Add more pea powder, seeds, nuts or chocolate chips. Not too many chocolate chips…or you might as well just eat the chocolate bar that has been calling
- If adding oats to your energy bites you can go two ways. Old fashioned oats will add a chewier texture whereas quick oats will add a softer velvety texture to your energy balls. Not sure or feeling adventurous… why not add half and half.
Storage
- Store energy balls in the fridge in a sealed container for up to a week (if they last that long). Doing so will help them hold their shape and stay fresh longer.
How to Make Date purée
- 500 g of dates, pitted
- 400 g of water
Heat in a microwave-safe container for 4 minutes. Then use a hand blender and blend until smooth.
With energy balls being so simple to make having delicious snacks on hand is a no brainer. Less than 5 minutes and you can have yourself a great on-the-go snack that tastes amazing. And the best part is… there really are no limits to the creativity you can have in making your own signature recipe.
