Save RecipeIngredients
1/4 cup pumpkin seed butter (slightly heated) (can also use almond butter or sunflower seed butter)
1/4 cup maple syrup (or liquid honey or brown rice syrup)
1/2 cup pure or canned pumpkin puree
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla
2 cups quick oats (use gluten free if necessary or quinoa flakes work as well)
1 cup rolled oats (use gluten free if necessary - I use Bob's Red Mill)
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir the slightly heated seed or nut butter with maple syrup until smooth. Stir in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, salt and vanilla until combined. Fold in the oats, cranberries and pumpkin seeds.
- Wet hands slightly and form dough tightly into 1" - 1.5" balls. Or, if dough doesn't stick together place dough in the fridge for 30 minutes prior to forming dough balls so it's easier to handle. Press additional cranberries evenly around dough, if desired.
- Store in airtight container in refrigerator or freezer until ready to enjoy.
