- 1 Tablespoon Flaxseed Meal
- 2 Teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice (or cinnamon)

- Add Peanut Butter Chips: Remove the dough from the processor bowl and gently fold in the peanut butter chips by hand to evenly distribute.

- Store and Serve: Serve immediately or store the pumpkin protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to keep fresh and firm.
Notes
- You can substitute pumpkin pie spice with just cinnamon if preferred.
- Use honey instead of maple syrup if not seeking a vegan version.
- Feel free to swap nut butters depending on your taste or dietary needs.
- For a firmer consistency, refrigerate the dough before rolling into balls.
- These protein balls are a great grab-and-go snack that do not require baking.
