Description
These no-bake pumpkin pie energy bites are ready in under 10 minutes with just 5 simple ingredients. They taste like pumpkin pie without the baking, making them perfect for busy mornings or a healthy snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (120g)
- 1/3 cup nut butter (80g), such as almond or peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (45ml)
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Stir until the spice is evenly distributed.
- Add 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1/3 cup nut butter, and 3 tablespoons maple syrup. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a cohesive dough forms. If too dry, add another tablespoon of maple syrup or water; if too wet, add more oats.
- Squeeze a small amount of mixture in your hand to check texture. It should hold its shape without crumbling.
- Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll between your palms to form a ball. Place on a baking sheet or plate. Repeat until all mixture is used (about 12-14 bites).
- Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up (optional but recommended). Serve cold or at room temperature.
Notes
Wet your hands slightly before rolling if the mixture sticks. For extra flavor, toast the oats in a dry skillet for 5 minutes before using. The bites get better after a day in the fridge as flavors meld.
