Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup creamy almond butter
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 2 scoops Simple Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, plus extra for sprinkling
- ¼ cup white or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the pumpkin puree, almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the blanched almond flour, pumpkin seed protein powder, and pumpkin pie spice into the wet mixture. Stir until a dough-like consistency forms that holds together easily.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the white or dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough to add a sweet, melty surprise in each bite.
- Form Bites: Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough and roll it between your palms to form small, uniform balls.
- Finish with Spice: Lightly sprinkle extra pumpkin pie spice on top of each bite for an added aroma and flavor boost.
- Chill and Store: Place the formed bites in the refrigerator to firm up for at least 30 minutes before enjoying. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
Notes
- Use almond butter that is creamy and well-stirred for easier mixing.
- If you prefer vegan sweeteners, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- For added texture, consider adding chopped nuts or seeds.
- These bites can be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw in the fridge before eating.
- Adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice to your taste preference.
