Description
No Bake Pumpkin Balls are soft, spiced, bite-sized treats made with pumpkin puree, oats, and warm fall flavors—no oven required. They’re perfect as a quick snack, healthy dessert, or festive energy bite during pumpkin season.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup almond butter or peanut butter
- 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, almond or peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Add the rolled oats and stir until well combined and a dough-like texture forms.
- If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips.
- Scoop and roll the mixture into small balls using your hands or a cookie scoop.
- Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for best results.
- Add extra oats or refrigerate longer if the mixture feels too soft.
- Roll in shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or chia seeds for added texture.
- Swap in sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
- Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to boost protein content.
