I made these the other night and they are very good. And they only took about 5 minutes to make. the bf and kids loved them. I made mine into bars instead of the balls and did not use the walnuts. I also added a tablespoon of Chia seeds for the heck of it.
I made a second batch and added 3 tablespoons of natural peanut butter just because I LOVE me some peanut butter.
Ingredients:

1 cup pumpkin
3 cups oats, not cooked
4 Tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp flax seeds
1 cup walnuts
1/2 cup grain sweetened chocolate chips. You could use dark chocolate pieces, regular chocolate chips or just skip them altogether. I did half with and half without.

Mix everything together in a large bowl. You kind of want to press and fold to get everything together. Roll into balls about 1" in diameter. Place on a wax paper or saran lined pan and chill for about 30 minutes

    These sound wonderful. I guess what doesn't get devoured should be stored in the fridge?

    yes, what you don't eat you can put in the fridge or even the freezer. but i'm guessing they won't be around too long! :happy:
