Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Energy Balls

These pumpkin oatmeal balls are so darn delicious, made with all natural ingredients and take less than 10 minutes to make a big batch! Made with lots of delicious seasonal flavors: pumpkin, maple syrup, and pumpkin spice for the perfect fall snack or treat!

Energy balls are one of my favorite healthier-for-you sweet treats to make in our house for so many reasons! With so many variations out there, there is truly a variety for everyone. I love switching this snack staple throughout the year to focus on seasonal flavors (these lemon coconut balls are so GOOD).

They’re easy to be modified for every diet and you can easily substitute ingredients which really come in handy when you’re trying to clean out the pantry, have allergies or if you accidentally find that you’re low on an ingredient.

These pumpkin spice oatmeal balls are definitely going to be a fan for all the pumpkin lovers out there! They are made with just a handful of ingredients and a fabulous way to use leftover pumpkin puree from baking. These energy balls have the perfect balance of pumpkin and fall spices combined with oats and peanut butter (you can substitute other nut or seed butters as needed) for delicious bite size fall treats! I love grabbing one or two when I need a midday energy boost and my kids absolutely love these for after-school snacks or included in their school lunch for a perfect take-and-go treat.
