  3. Add the oats and pulse a few times until the mixture looks thick and starts to clump.
  4. Fold in the ground flax, pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame seeds. Pulse or stir until evenly distributed, adjusting consistency with warm water or oats as needed.
  5. Scoop tablespoon portions and roll them into balls, dampening your palms lightly if the dough sticks.
