Ingredients
Scale
Basic 3-Ingredient Pumpkin Bites:
- ½ cup pumpkin puree (100% pure, not pie filling)
- ½ cup nut butter (almond or peanut, unsweetened)
- ½–¾ cup almond flour or coconut flour
Optional Add-Ins:
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
- 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts
- 2 tbsp shredded coconut
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Crushed graham crackers (for pie flavor)
Instructions
- Mix base: In a medium bowl, stir together pumpkin puree and nut butter until smooth.
- Add flour: Gradually mix in almond or coconut flour until a soft dough forms.
- Adjust texture: If sticky, add more flour 1 tbsp at a time. If dry, add a splash of nut milk or pumpkin puree.
- Roll: Scoop out tablespoon portions and roll into balls with your hands.
- Chill: Place bites on a parchment-lined plate and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes.
- Optional: Roll in cinnamon, cocoa powder, or shredded coconut before chilling.
Notes
- Use cold nut butter for firmer dough and easier rolling.
- Start with less flour and add more gradually until dough holds shape.
- Chill before serving for best texture.
- Store in the fridge up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Make them nut-free by using sunflower seed butter or tahini.
