Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oat flour, coconut flour, and protein powder until light and airy.
  2. Add pumpkin puree, almond butter, maple syrup, chopped dates, and chia seeds to the dry mixture and mix until a cohesive dough forms.
  3. If the dough is too dry, add more pumpkin puree or maple syrup until the consistency is slightly sticky but manageable.
  4. Roll the dough into 18 small balls and place them on a plate lined with parchment paper.
  5. Refrigerate the balls for about 30 minutes to firm up, making them easier to handle.
  6. Transfer the protein balls to an airtight container for storage; keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
