Pumpkin Pie Protein Bliss Balls
I always love having protein snacks on hand to enjoy throughout the busy week, and these pumpkin pie protein bliss balls are perfect during the fall season! They are easy to make and almost too cute to eat! They are packed with healthy fats, fiber, and protein which will make these treats a bit more balanced and blood sugar friendly. making these bliss balls into adorable pumpkin shapes is definitely a must!
What you will need
Cashew Butter – I personally love using raw cashew butter because it doesn’t overpower the flavors. You can also use almond butter as well.
Vanilla Protein Powder – I like to use a plant based one by Truvani but you can use any vanilla protein powder.
Pumpkin Puree – We will be using real pumpkin in these to really give an authentic pumpkin pie flavor. Pumpkin is a great source of fiber and antioxidants!
Maple Syrup – This is what we will use to sweeten the pumpkin pie bliss balls.
Coconut Flour – This flour absorbs liquid really well, and gives these bliss balls a great texture.
Pumpkin Spice – This makes the bliss balls taste like pumpkin pie with all the warming spices.
Chocolate Chips – This is what we will use to make the pumpkin “tops” of the bliss balls.
Granulated Monk Fruit – We will roll the pumpkin pie bliss balls in the monk fruit “sugar” to make them look pretty and taste a=even more sweet.
How to make the pumpkin pie protein bliss balls
First, In a bowl, add the coconut flour, vanilla protein powder, and pumpkin spice. Whisk everything together so there are no clumps. Then add the cashew or almond butter, pumpkin puree, and maple syrup. Mix everything together until well incorporated and a dough like texture forms. Place the mixture in the fridge for 15 minutes to harden a little.
Next, roll the pumpkin pie protein mixture into about 12-14 balls and then roll them in the monk fruit “sugar” to coat evenly. Using a piece of twine, wrap it around the bliss balls in a cris-cross pattern to make them look like pumpkins. Top each of them with a chocolate chip. Store them in the fridge and enjoy throughout the week.
