Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup Simple Pumpkin Seed Protein
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cashew butter
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup, as needed

Toppings

  • Cinnamon sugar, for rolling
  • Chocolate chips, for stems

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, Simple Pumpkin Seed Protein, cashew butter, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until a uniform batter forms.
  2. Chill the Batter: Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill for 10 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up, making it easier to shape.
  3. Shape into Balls: Remove from the fridge and roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls using your hands.
  4. Assemble Pumpkins: Use toothpicks to connect the balls in a way that resembles a pumpkin shape.
  5. Coat and Decorate: Roll some of the balls in cinnamon sugar to add sweetness and texture. Top each pumpkin-shaped bite with a chocolate chip to mimic pumpkin stems.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the pumpkin bites on a plate and serve immediately or store them in the refrigerator for later snacking.

Notes

  • The maple syrup quantity can be adjusted based on your preferred sweetness.
  • For a firmer bite, chill the mixture longer than 10 minutes if needed.
  • You can substitute cashew butter with almond butter for a different flavor.
  • Store leftover bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • These bites are no-bake and require no cooking, making them quick and easy to prepare.
