PUMPKIN SPICE BITES

We love a lil something sweet as we go through our day, whether it be an after dinner treat or an afternoon pick-me-up. Given that it’s the season for pumpkin-flavored goods, we wanted to share our take on a sweet pumpkin treat.

Perfect for bringing to a holiday gathering & sharing with your loved ones. 
As an added bonus, this recipe is GF, vegan, and refined sugar free :) 

Yields about 10 bites 

Total time: <15 minutes 

Ingredients you’ll need: 

• 3/4 cup oat flour

• 3/4 cup almond flour

• 2 tsp cinnamon

• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

• 1/4 cup pumpkin purée

• 3 1/2 tbsp maple syrup

• 1 tsp salt

• optional: 1 tsp ground flaxseed for those hormone healthy fats ;) 

  For the dipin’ mixture:

• 3 tbsp coconut sugar 

• 2 tsp cinnamon 

• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice 

Now, let’s get rollin’: 

• Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl. No particular order necessary

• Mix all ingredients together. We like to use our hands, so get in there and mix your heart out

• Once thoroughly mixed, shape into balls (the mixture is on the dryer side, but if you’re needing/wanting extra moisture add a tad more maple syrup & pumpkin purée)

• Once formed, grab your *dippin’ mixture* and roll each ball in said mixture - generously

• Place finished pumpkin spice bites onto a plate and sprinkle with the remaining dipin mixture for some extra sweetness

Storage tips: these bites can be stored on your countertop for up to 3 days. The longer they sit the better! And don’t worry, if they start to look a little wet (we know that sounds weird!), it is completely normal.
