In a blender, combine the pitted dates, butternut squash puree, oat flakes, natural vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

Blend until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous mixture. If the mixture is too liquid, add more oat flakes; if too dry, add a little more puree.

Shape the mixture into balls the size of walnuts and slightly flatten them to resemble pumpkins.

Take pieces of orange fondant, roll them into small balls, and flatten them.

Wrap each energy ball in the fondant.

To create the pumpkin effect, press the body of the wooden pick into the balls to leave an imprint, repeating this for each ball.

In the center of the pumpkins, gently press the handle of a spoon to create a small indentation.

Take small balls of green fondant, shape them into tiny cones, brush the wider base with a little water, and place them in the indentation of the pumpkins.
