Method 3
- 01
In a large food processor, combine the almond flour, peanuts, dates, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Blend until fully combined.
- 02
Add the oats and protein powder and blend again for several seconds until it comes into a dough with no visible date chunks that sticks together when you squeeze it. (If you prefer not using protein powder, taste and add a little more maple syrup to adjust the sweetness level. If the dough is very dry, add water by the teaspoon and blend until the dough comes together.)
- 03
Remove 2 tablespoons of dough at a time, squeeze it together, and roll it into a ball. Store at room temperature for 5 days or refrigerated up to 10 days.
