I took a poll to see what you wanted for another pumpkin recipe. You voted for protein balls. I love these little bites of deliciousness. They are perfect for when I need a burst of energy. Like after my morning workout before out family walk. Or in the afternoon before a walk.

I like to start by whisking the dry ingredients together, but you can throw everything in the bowl and whisk together. I like maple syrup with them, but you can use honey if you wish. I personally think maple tastes better.

You can substitute the maple syrup for honey. You can substitute another nut butter for the almond butter. I prefer gluten free oats, just don’t you use quick oats.
