- ¼ cup honey
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 2 scoops Simple Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

- If you prefer a different texture, refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Experiment with dark chocolate chips for a richer taste or white chocolate chips for a sweeter finish.
- These bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for longer storage.
- Adjust pumpkin pie spice to your taste preference, adding more for a stronger spice flavor.
