Pumpkin Spice Energy Bites

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free)
• 1/3 cup canned pumpkin puree, blotted dry
• 1/3 cup almond butter
• 3 tbsp allulose or sugar-free maple syrup
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• pinch of salt

Method

1. 1

   Spread the canned pumpkin puree onto a few layers of paper towel and press gently with more paper towel on top to blot out excess water — canned pumpkin holds a surprising amount of water, and this blotting step is what keeps the finished bites firm instead of falling apart mushy in your hand.

2. 2

   Mix the blotted pumpkin with oats, almond butter, allulose, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until a thick dough forms.

3. 3

   Chill 15 minutes.

4. 4

   Roll into 16 small balls.

5. 5

   Store in the fridge for up to a week.
