Pumpkin Protein Balls

So I wanted to try a new recipe... Pumpkin Protein Balls
Sounds pretty yummy, right? 

Well, the recipe I had didn't make much sense but I thought just follow the recipe and you'll be good. 

Recipe:
1/3 C. pumpkin puree
1 1/2 serving of Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
3 C. Honey
1/3 C. Nut Butter
1 1/2 C. Oatmeal
1 1/2 tsp. Pumpkin pie spice

So the honey part throws me off... like why 3 cups?!?! But I was trusting the recipe. 
So as you can imagine, it was very wet. I tried adding more oats and protein powder but that didn't even budge. I put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to see if it would thicken up. It might have a little bit, but I still couldn't make balls out of it. So I said whatever and put it in a tupperware and put it back in the fridge and will figure out what to do with it later. 
MAJOR FAIL. 

Although, I did taste it and it does taste really good... so if y'all want to just tweak this recipe, it would be super good! And let me know how it goes :)

Always wanting to try new things, especially easy protein balls that you can just take on the go - so if anyone has an awesome recipe send it my way!!

Happy Thursday everyone!

  1. Megan! I saw this recipe floating around Pinterest too…. I was confused with 3 cups of honey, but it is supposed to be 1/3 I think! Which makes more sense - I was totally confused too. :)
