Ingredients
- 12 sticky dates such as Medjool or Deglet Noor pitted
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/3 cup pecans or walnuts or a combination
- 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Process the dates in a food processor until you have a sticky mass.
- Add the remaining ingredients: oats, nuts, pumpkin, maple syrup, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Pulse to combine. The oats and nuts should be in small pieces.
- Roll into 18 balls and store between layers of wax paper in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. If the mixture is too sticky to shape into balls, refrigerate first for at least 20 minutes.
Notes
Instead of pumpkin pie spice, you can use 1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon cloves, and 1/8 teaspoon ginger.
