- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 2 scoops Simple Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

- Add Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the blanched almond flour, Simple Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder, and pumpkin pie spice into the wet mixture. Stir everything together until a firm, dough-like consistency forms.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the white or dark chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring even distribution without breaking the chips.

Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Use white chocolate chips to maintain the classic snickerdoodle sweetness, or opt for dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
- These bites keep well in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Experiment with additional spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to customize the flavor.
- Perfect as a pre- or post-workout snack due to their high protein content.
