Pumpkin Spice Energy Ball

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup peanut butter
• ¼ cup pumpkin puree
• ½ cup almond flour
• 2 packs sweetener
• 1 tbsp. flax seed
• 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
• 1.5 ounces dark chocolate (optional )

Directions:

In a large bowl combine peanut butter, pumpkin puree, almond flour,sweetener, flax (chia) seeds, pumpkin pie spice,   Mix until everything is well incorporated.

Scoop up about 1 tbsp. of ‘dough’ and roll in the palm of your hands to create a small, golf-sized ball.  You should get about 8 balls.

Place the balls on a plate lined with parchment paper (or a tray with a silpat mat) in the freezer while you melt your chocolate. (if you are using it) 

Melt chocolate in microwave or a double broiler.  Add two ounces of dark chocolate and stir periodically until the chocolate has melted down.

Remove the pumpkin balls form the freezer and dip each one in the chocolate to coat half of the pumpkin ball.  Place back on the parchment paper and continue until you have dipped all the pumpkin balls.

Place them back in the freezer and enjoy any time you need a quick and delicious nutrient packed snack.
