Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 + 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup medjool dates, tightly packed (~14 dates)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter or almond butter
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree, not pie filling
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Add oats, dates, peanut butter, pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt to the base of a food processor.
  2. Process ingredients until a sticky, nearly-smooth dough forms. The dough should be pinch-able and stick together when you press it with your hands.
  3. Transfer the dough to a large bowl. Add mini chocolate chips and mix to combine.
  4. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a less spicy version, reduce the ground ginger.
