Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin purée
- 1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the almond flour and coconut flour to the wet mixture, stirring continuously until a thick dough forms that can be easily handled.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
- Shape the Bites: Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into small, bite-sized balls and place them evenly spaced on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill: Refrigerate the cookie dough bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up, enhancing their texture and flavor.
- Store and Serve: Keep the bites stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Allow to thaw a few minutes before enjoying if they have been frozen.
Notes
- Freeze the bites for longer-term storage; just thaw a few minutes before serving.
- For a nut-free option, substitute cashew or sunflower seed butter in place of almond butter.
- Use dairy-free chocolate chips to keep the snack fully vegan.
