Pumpkin Flaxseed Protein Balls with Oats (No-Bake, Vegan Recipe)
Ingredients
- ¼ cup vanilla protein powder* (32g)
- ¼ cup oat flour (32g) read notes** on how to make at home
- ¼ cup almond butter (64g) , can also use peanut butter
- 2 ½ Tbsp pumpkin puree
Add Ins
- 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed meal
- 2 Tbsp mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a clean bowl, mix the dry ingredients: protein powder, and oat flour
- Next, add in the almond butter and the pumpkin puree, using your hands to knead and get the dough to combine together.NOTE: Add more oat flour if the dough is too soft, add more puree if the dough is too thick. TRY TO ADD A TEASPOON AT A TIME! The final dough should be firm, but soft enough that you can roll the dough into a ball without it falling apart.
- Add the ground flaxseed meal and mini chocolate chips for additional texture
- Roll the batter into tablespoon sized balls, refrigerate for 15 minutes to set
- Enjoy!
Notes
*I used Orgain plant-based vanilla protein powder.
**While you can buy oat flour in any major grocery store, you can make your own oatmeal flour by grinding either old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats in a small blender. If you want to keep this strictly gluten-free (some oats are produced in the same facility as wheat), be sure to buy the one with the GF label like this one
