Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Energy Balls

I made this for my KC Fall Open House this week and they are SO yummy and addictive! But they have so many ingredients good for your skin I had to include the recipe here!

Ingredients 

• 3 cups dry, uncooked oatmeal (I used gluten-free thick cut oats)
• 1 cup all-natural Pumpkin Puree
• 1 cup all-natural Peanut butter, or Almond butter
• 2/3 cup pure maple syrup or raw honey
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract
• 4-6 Tbsp ground flax seeds (if ‘dough’ seems too wet, then I add more ground flax, if it’s too dry, add less…start with a smaller quantity)
• 1 cup small chopped walnuts, chopped almonds, chopped peanuts, coconut flakes, or any combination of mix-ins that equal 1 cup total.
• 1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips. You could use dark chocolate/cacao pieces, or just skip them altogether.

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients together in a medium bowl until very thoroughly mixed.
2. Roll into balls of about 1″ in diameter (mine were a bit larger). Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Energy Balls Prep http://cleanfoodcrush.com/pumpkin-energy-balls/
