Mix everything in a bowl — stir together the peanut butter, pumpkin, sweetener, protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla until it forms a thick, doughy mix that holds its shape.
Scoop and roll the dough using a cookie spoon (or your hands) into small balls. Make sure they’re even in size so they chill perfectly later.
In a separate bowl, combine granulated sweetener and pumpkin spice for the coating. Roll each ball around gently until they’re covered in that sparkly layer of sweetness.
For the fun part, grab a piece of kitchen twine and wrap it gently around each ball, pressing slightly to form ridges. Add a chocolate chip on top as the stem to complete the pumpkin look.
Chill your creations in the fridge until they’re firm. When ready, grab a quick, festive, and high-protein snack — the perfect little pumpkin bite for fall.
