- Stir well to combine all ingredients until a cohesive dough forms.
- Freeze the dough for about 10 minutes to allow it to harden slightly.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Notes
Chilling the dough in the freezer for 10 minutes makes rolling much easier.
Ensure you use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
Any creamy nut butter can be used, but cashew butter provides a neutral base for the pumpkin flavor.
For best flavor and texture, allow the energy balls to chill completely before serving.
