How many carbs, protein, fat does this recipe have?
Hi Roxana! I updated the post and included the nutrient profile : )
How long should we let it chill? Sorry this is my first time cooking with pumpkin
You can chill these until they get more stiff, about an hour or so. Also, these should be stored in the fridge and should be good for a couple days : )
Mine dont look like the ones in the picture
Lol. Did we need to bake these?
Nope, no need to bake. If the dough isn’t thick enough to roll, you can always add more protein powder a little at a time until the dough firms up enough to roll into balls .
