When you want in on the pumpkin spice action... but it's still too hot for the oven... these Pumpkin Spice Protein Truffles are perfect! The pumpkin spice-white chocolate combo is seriously addictive! Not to worry, these festive little balls have a boost of protein and fiber with only 1 gram of sugar per truffle.
NOTES: We used coconut flour, Swerve Brown, and Lily's sugar free white chocolate to keep the carbs and sugar down. However, you can use twice as much baking flour, your sweetener of choice, and regular white chocolate. You can also swap the individual spices for 3/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice.
