Pumpkin Power Balls. 

My three year old is the babe in the house that calls this healthy power balls recipe… “cookies”! He just loves them, and that makes this mama a happy camper. 

This recipe is inspired by my Peanut Butter Pumpkin Chewy Granola Bars since I needed a no bake version of pumpkin cookie goodness for a cooking demo I did at the Winter Park Sprouts grand opening. And everyone went bonkers over the flavor and texture of these babies when they tasted them!

If you need 100% gluten free and vegan, buy certified gluten free oats and vegan chocolate chips! And of course you can sub in other nuts and nut butters if you have an allergy or preference for a different nut.

Pumpkin makes this recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Power Balls light and fluffy and oh so soft! Oh yes! And of course it adds an extra dose of nutrition too!
