Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- To a medium mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, protein powder, maple syrup, and salt. Mix well until a thick dough forms. Take a heaping tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. Use your hands to press flat, and push inwards from one edge towards the center to create an indented oval shape. Take about a half teaspoon of dough and shape it like a stem. Lightly press onto the pumpkin-shaped dough. Repeat with the remaining dough and place on a parchment paper lined tray. Place in the freezer for about 20 minutes to firm up.
- To a separate bowl, add chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- Coat the pumpkins in the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Place back onto the parchment lined tray. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes or until chocolate has hardened. Enjoy!
