These pumpkin bites have a warm, cozy fall flavor, with cinnamon and nutmeg complementing the natural sweetness of pumpkin and maple syrup. The almond flour and powdered peanut butter add a nutty flavor while providing healthy fats and some protein, and the pumpkin contributes fiber and vitamin A. With an optional chocolate coating for extra richness, these bites make a delicious, easy snack or sweet treat!
Makes 12–14 bites
Ingredients
2 tbsp powdered peanut butter
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 cup almond flour
1 packet sugar-free vanilla pudding mix
¼ cup pumpkin puree
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
1–2 tbsp water (only if needed)
Optional for chocolate coating:
¼ cup chocolate chips
1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the powdered peanut butter, almond flour, pudding mix, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
Add the maple syrup and pumpkin puree. Stir until a thick dough forms.
If the mixture feels too dry or crumbly, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until it holds together when pressed.
Roll the dough into 12–14 small balls (about 1 inch each).
Place the bites on a plate or tray and chill in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
Optional chocolate coating: Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. Dip each bite halfway (or fully) into the chocolate, then set on parchment paper and chill until the chocolate hardens.
