Pumpkin Pie Protein Bites

This little treat combines one of our favorite nut butters with the flavors of pumpkin pie into a few delicious bites! Grab a few for a quick afternoon snack or pre-workout fuel! We like to make a big batch of these bites and store them in the freezer for a convenient protein-and-fiber-packed snack on the go.

DIRECTIONS

Place maple almond butter, pumpkin puree and maple syrup food processor and pulse a few times. Add in FlapJacked mix and pumpkin pie spice and blend for about 30 seconds or until ingredients are mixed together well.
Transfer the mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour. Pour the ingredients for the coating into a small bowl and stir together well.
After an hour, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Using a tablespoon, scoop out a rounded tablespoon of batter and roll into a ball using your palms.
Roll the ball through the mixture in the small bowl until it's coated and place on a plate. Repeat until dough is gone- you will have about 20 bites.
Store the bites in a sealed container in the refrigerator or freezer. ENJOY!
