Pumpkin Spice Protein Truffles

It’s pumpkin season! These macro-friendly pumpkin-spiced protein truffles are the perfect way to sneak a few extra grams of protein into your day.

Instructions

1. Combine all the truffle ingredients in a food processor and blitz until combined. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, combine the white sugar and remaining ½ tsp of cinnamon in a bowl. Roll the dough into 26 gram balls and dunk them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat. Enjoy!

If you store leftovers in the fridge, be aware that the cinnamon sugar coating will turn into a sweet, syrupy glaze. Sugar is hygroscopic which means it will attract moisture from whatever it touches (like pumpkin puree.) Not to worry! The pumpkin truffles are arguably even more delicious with the cinnamon syrup, but if you like the crunch of sugar crystals, simply keep the truffles naked until you’re ready to snack and roll them in cinnamon sugar right before eating.
