Pumpkin Energy Balls

Ingredients

•  ½ cup butter
• 1 cup almond flour
• ¼ cup coconut flour
• ¼ tsp xanthan gum
•  ½ tsp pink Himalayan sea salt
•  ½ cup zero-calorie powdered sweetener
• ⅓ cup brown sugar substitute
•  ⅓ cup chopped walnuts
•  1 tsp vanilla extract
•  1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
•  ¾ cup pumpkin puree
• 1 scoop Bean Envy Pumpkin Spice MCT + Collagen Powder

Topping Ingredients

•  3 oz full fat cream cheese
•  3 tbsp zero-calorie powdered sweetener
•  pinch of salt
•  brown butter bits
•  ¼ cup zero-calorie granulated sweetener

Directions

• In a small sauce pot over medium heat, melt the butter until fragrant like roasted nuts. Place a paper towel in the bottom of a colander and strain, while catching the brown butter bits. Reserve the brown butter and the bits for later use.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine all remaining dough ingredients with the brown butter and mix thoroughly. Shape into a dough ball and flatten out. Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Using a 1-ounce ice cream scoop, take 24 servings and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Place the tray in the freezer.
• Put the cream cheese in a bowl and microwave 15-30 seconds until soft. Add in the powdered sweetener and salt, and stir to combine. Fill a pastry piping bag with the mixture, or use a plastic sandwich bag and cut the corner to create a piping tip.
• In a new bowl, add the brown butter bits to the granulated sweetener and combine until uniform.
• Remove the pumpkin energy balls from the freezer, top with a drizzle of the sweetened cream cheese, and a few bits of the brown butter sweetener. Enjoy!
