Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, pumpkin puree, almond butter, honey, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Stir until all ingredients are well combined, and the mixture is sticky but holds together. If it feels dry, add a bit more almond butter or a splash of water.
  3. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to help it firm up.
  4. Once chilled, use your hands to roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, aiming for about 1 inch in diameter.
