Pumpkin Balls

We love any bite-size treat, especially when it includes good-for-you ingredients! Pumpkin is packed with nutrients and vitamins, flaxseed promotes digestion, and oats are a protein-rich healthy whole grain. These are easy to make and perfect as an on-the-go snack, for a school lunch, or sweet (but healthy) treat.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups oats
• ½ cup ground flax seed
• ½ cup pumpkin puree
• ¼ cup honey
• ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
• ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
• ½ cup dark chocolate chips or white chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Mix peanut butter and honey together in a microwave safe bowl and place in microwave for 30 seconds.
2. Once done, pull out of the microwave and mix in with remaining ingredients leaving the chocolate chips for last.
3. Once everything is mixed, place in the freezer for 15 minutes to cool.
4. Pull mixture out of the freezer and roll into desired size balls.
5. Once they have all been formed, put in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
