PUMPKIN SPICE PROTEIN BARS

PUMPKIN SPICE PROTEIN BALLS Gluten Free / KID FRIENDLY / Oh, so good! Servings: 10-12 balls / Approved for P1, P3, and P4 (P2 if your mentor says so. LOL ) INGREDIENTS: 18 pitted dates 1/2 cup almonds 1/2 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free oats) 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice* DIRECTIONS: Place the dates in a food processor with the “s” blade and mix until they’re in small pieces. Then add the remaining ingredients and mix until only fine pieces remain. If a bit of batter sticks between your fingers and feels “doughy,” you’re in a good place. If it’s not sticking together, add a few more dates and pulse. Next, scoop out 1 Tablespoon measurements and carefully form into balls. Placing one hand in a plastic bag while forming the balls will make the process a lot easier and less messy. Be well and ENJOY! *Note: add more pumpkin spice, or a dash of pumpkin butter if you prefer the flavor a bit more bold. *recipe and photo credit dietsinreview.com
