Any other over achieving parents in the room, killing it in the kitchen on the weekend so their family can have a healthier week without a lot of hassle? I see you! And I give you pumpkin protein bites to support your ambitious efforts.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- ½ – 1 cup cup peanut butter (natural, unsweetened works best)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or to taste)
- 2 scoops vanilla vegan protein powder
- Handful of raisins or chocolate chips if you’re feeling fancy!
Instructions:
- Mix the ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, rolled oats, maple syrup, and vanilla protein powder. Stir until everything is well combined and the mixture holds together.
- Form the bites: Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the mixture for each bite, then roll it into a ball with your hands. Repeat this process to make 12 protein bites.
- Chill and store: Place the bites on a plate or in a container, and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
You can adjust the ingredients to achieve the texture that holds is shape easily. Store in the fridge and use them to save your kids from hangry attacks late in the afternoon.
