Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup Simple Pumpkin Seed Protein
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • Cinnamon sugar for rolling
  • Chocolate chips for topping

Wet Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine almond flour, Simple Pumpkin Seed Protein, cashew butter, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Mix until a sticky dough forms, adjusting the maple syrup quantity as needed for consistency.
  2. Chill Batter: Cover the bowl and chill the batter in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. This helps the mixture firm up, making it easier to roll into balls.
  3. Roll into Balls: Scoop out portions of the chilled batter and roll them between your palms to form bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Shape and Decorate: Use toothpicks to gently build a pumpkin shape if desired. Roll some of the balls in cinnamon sugar to add a sweet, spiced coating for extra flavor and texture.
  5. Add Chocolate Chip Stem: Press a chocolate chip into the top of each ball to resemble a pumpkin stem, adding a festive touch to your bites.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange your Pumpkin Protein Bites on a plate and enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

  • Adjust the maple syrup amount based on your preferred sweetness and consistency of the dough.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more almond flour.
  • These bites can be stored in the fridge for up to 7 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Use toothpicks carefully when shaping to avoid breaking the bites.
  • For a vegan version, ensure the chocolate chips are dairy-free.
