Pumpkin Energy Balls

I have been in a pumpkin mood this week, so why not start my day with a pumpkin energy ball too?

Ingredients:

½ cup pumpkin puree

½ cup almonds

¼ cup raw pecans

½ cup old fashioned oatmeal

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

½ cup large pitted dates

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

Directions:

1. Add dates, almond, and pecans to a food processor.  Pulse to chop.
2. Add oatmeal, protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, coconut, and maple syrup.  Pulse to mix.
3. Use a cookie scooper to form balls.  These will be sticky. You can refrigerate if they are too sticky to cooperate. 
4. Store in an air-tight container. 
5. Enjoy!
