Ingredients to make Pumpkin Spice Balls

• Sunflower Seed Butter - You can replace this with almond butter or peanut butter or any other seed butter
• Pumpkin Puree
• Liquid Sweetener - Agave Syrup or Pure Maple Syrup or Stevia Extract or anything that you like.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice - You can use the generic brands available in the market or just make your own.
• Coconut Flour - Coconut flour holds the balls together. This replaces your need to use dates. Please do not skip coconut flour. You can replace this with gluten-free oats flour but then it won't be keto or paleo.

How to Make Healthy Pumpkin Energy Balls

• Step 1: In a microwave safe bowl heat up sunflower seed butter and liquid sweetener until warm. Whisk well until combined.
• Step 2: Combine this with coconut flour, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix well until you get a firm and thick batter.
• Step 3: Use your hands to make small bite sized Pumpkin Pie energy balls. Place them on a lined sheet. Refrigerate until firm.

Storing Pumpkin Pie Energy Balls

These Pumpkin spice balls should be stored in a sealed container and must be refrigerated. They stay fresh for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Can I Freeze Pumpkin Pie Energy Balls

These healthy Pumpkin energy bites are freezer friendly. Wrap them in parchment paper and place them in a sealed container or a ziplock bag.

You can enjoy it anytime later. These stay fresh in the freezer for up to 6-months.

For best taste, I recommend that you thaw these no bake pumpkin spice balls for up to half an hour at room temperature before serving.

Can I use Protein Powder to make No Bake Pumpkin Spice Energy Bites

Yes definitely. Use 1 scoop (32-35 grams) of your favorite flavor of Protein Powder to make Pumpkin energy bites.

But, make sure you do not replace coconut flour with Protein Powder. In case you are using protein powder then you might have to add some more Pumpkin Puree.

Are energy balls the same as protein balls?

Yes. Protein Balls and Energy Balls are the exact same thing. Protein Balls is basically a snack that is made with seed butter or nut butter, sweetener and of course almond meal or coconut flour.

And energy balls is just a similar name for protein balls.

Why are my energy balls not sticking together?

Your Energy Balls might not be sticking together because of following reasons:

• You might have not used enough coconut flour.
• Maybe you have used less almond butter or peanut butter or any other butter that you are using.

Do protein balls give you energy?

Yes. This might come as a surprise to you, if you haven't used it. But, it has got carbs along with protein which gives you a quick boost of energy.

Many people ask, Do they work? Well yes. They do. You do get a quick burst of energy. But, I try to take it before workout. And sometimes after workout as well. This contains fast absorbing carbs and protein which your body needs post workout. So there is nothing wrong with these protein balls.
