Calling all pumpkin spice groupies!

If you love all things pumpkin, have I got a treat for you! These Pumpkin Pie Bliss Balls are like a pumpkin spice latte in bliss ball form. Made with old-fashioned oats, protein powder, pumpkin puree, peanut butter, a touch of honey and topped with a healthy chocolate drizzle, this recipe is delicious any time of year, not just red cup season. 

What are bliss balls?

Bliss balls are sometimes also called energy balls or energy bites. They’re typically made with wholesome ingredients full of vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. These pumpkin pie balls check off all those boxes.

With a combination of healthy ingredients like oats, pumpkin puree, peanut butter, and coconut oil topped off with my favorite vanilla protein powder you’ll have the perfect little balls of energy in no time.

Pumpkin spice trick

You guys, homemade pumpkin pie spice is a thing. To make your own: combine cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Incredibly easy and you can add it to coffee, oatmeal, or pumpkin cookies. My favorite recipe for homemade pumpkin spice is Sally’s Baking Addiction Pumpkin Pie Spice. Of course, if you prefer, store-bought is always there for those who don’t have these spices on hand. 

Dairy and gluten-free info.

Gluten-free. These bliss balls are gluten-free as long as you ensure your chocolate chips, oats and protein powder are gluten-free.

This recipe is dairy-free if you use dairy-free chocolate chips and protein powder. Enjoy Life makes dairy-free chocolate chips that taste great. Note, that sometimes dairy-free chocolate melts differently. Keep that in mind when making with an alternative chocolate chip.

Ingredients:

These are the main ingredients for pumpkin spice bliss balls. See the recipe card below for the full ingredients list and instructions.

How to make bliss balls (a visual step-by-step guide):

Step 1: Pulse oats to flour and add protein powder

In a food processor, pulse the oats until they become a coarse flour-like texture. Combine with the protein powder in a mixing bowl.

Step 2: Add main ingredients

Next, add the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, honey, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt to the bowl and mix until well combined.

Step 3: Add optional ingredients

Add to the oat and protein mixture and combine until the dry powder is fully incorporated with the wet and it creates a sticky dough. If you’re adding any optional mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or mini chocolate chips, fold them into the dough.

Step 4: Roll into balls

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop equal portions of the mixture and roll them into 10 bite-sized balls, approximately 32 grams each. If the mixture is too sticky, you can wet your hands slightly to make rolling easier. You want to roll them into tight balls to stick everything together.

Place the bliss balls on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 5: Refrigerate

Refrigerate the bliss balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up prior to adding the chocolate coating. You can also freeze them for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.

Step 6: Melt chocolate and coat bliss balls

Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe dish and microwave in 30-second intervals until the chocolate has completely melted.

Add each ball separately to the chocolate sauce, coat it evenly with the sauce and place it back on the baking sheet. Repeat with all 10 bliss balls. Sprinkle the tops with flakey sea salt and return the bliss balls to the fridge or freezer to harder and set.

Enjoy!

Finally, once chilled, the bliss balls are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Optional Mix-Ins

Instructions

 

• In the bowl of a food processor or high speed blender, pulse the oats until they become a coarse flour-like texture. Combine with the protein powder in a large bowl. 
• Add the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, honey, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt to the bowl and mix until well combined. Add to the oat and protein mixture and combine until the dry powder is fully incorporated with the wet and it creates a sticky dough. 
• If you're adding any optional mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or mini chocolate chips, fold them into the dough.
• Using a cookie dough scoop or spoon, scoop equal portions of the mixture and roll them into 10 bite-sized balls, approximately 32 grams each. If the mixture is too sticky, you can wet your hands slightly to make rolling easier. You want to roll them into tight balls to stick everything together.

Notes

• Nutritional info is always an estimate and will vary with substitutions.
• Highly recommend using pulsed old fashioned oats as the recipe calls for. Using an alternative flour will result in a drier bliss ball.
• The remaining chocolate sauce used to coat the bliss balls has been taken into account in the nutritional information.
• Swap the peanut butter for preferred nut butter. Make into a creamy peanut butter texture mixed with water prior to adding to the balls. 
• If using a different protein powder and the texture is not dry / thick enough add either more protein powder or additional oats. This recipe has only been tested with the mentioned whey protein.
