Combine the Ingredients- Add the quick oats, almond butter or peanut butter, maple syrup, pumpkin puree, vanilla protein powder, and pumpkin spice to a small mixing bowl. Mix with a spoon until everything is well combined and you have a cohesive mixture.

Add Chocolate Chips- If using, stir in 2–3 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips. You can use dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, or your favorite chocolate variety.

Roll Into Balls- Use a cookie scoop to create even portions. Roll each portion between your hands until it forms a smooth, round ball.

Chill- Place the pumpkin spice energy balls into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before enjoying. Chilling helps the mixture firm up and gives you the best texture.
