Guilt-Free Pumpkin Truffles for a Healthier Fall Treat

  • Author: Lyndy
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 16 truffles 1x

Description

These **Pumpkin Truffles** are a decadent yet healthy fall treat made with real pumpkin puree, coconut flour, and monk fruit sweetener, then coated in rich sugar-free dark chocolate. Perfect for Thanksgiving, holiday platters, or meal prep, they’re naturally gluten-free, low in sugar, and freezer-friendly — a wholesome dessert that feels indulgent without the guilt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 6 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated monk fruit or erythritol
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Optional: extra spices (cardamom, clove), chopped nuts, or unsweetened shredded coconut for topping

Instructions

  1. Mix the filling: In a bowl, combine pumpkin puree, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until smooth.
  2. Add dry ingredients: Stir in coconut flour and sweetener gradually until thick and scoopable. Chill 10–15 minutes if too soft.
  3. Shape: Scoop and roll into bite-sized balls. Place on parchment-lined sheet and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  4. Melt chocolate: Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in microwave or double boiler until smooth.
  5. Coat truffles: Dip each ball in melted chocolate and return to sheet. Refrigerate 20–30 minutes to set.
  6. Serve: Enjoy chilled or transfer to airtight container for storage.

Notes

  • Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix.
  • Chilling the dough helps with shaping and dipping.
  • Sweetness is adjustable — taste the dough and add more monk fruit if desired.
  • For paleo: swap monk fruit with coconut sugar or maple syrup and use paleo-approved chocolate.
  • These truffles are freezer-friendly for up to 2 months.
