Pumpkin Spice Energy Bites

Jenny Morris

Last Updated July 16, 2024

The great thing about these Pumpkin Spice Energy Bites is that they whip up so quick. In less than 15 minutes you can have delicious morsels easy to grab for a snack, pack for a quick lunch, or take on long car rides.  They're so easy to make you might spend more time assembling the ingredients, or mis en place, than making them!

These little balls of energy are all about that pumpkin and spice and everything nice, and health and wealth with all of that schmealth. Or something like that. These will not make you rich. Or give you schmealth. I would never wish schmealth on anyone. That sounds like some terrible disease. Nor will these actually bite you. You bite them. Nom nom nom.

 Now if I would stop rambling you probably could've had them already made...Scusami.

Pumpkin Spice Energy Bites

Makes about 12-15 Bites

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup / 90g rolled oats

  • 1/4 cup / 65g peanut butter

  • 1/4 cup / 60g pumpkin purée

  • 1/4 cup 45g ground flax seeds or wheat germ

  • 1/4 cup / 45g mini chocolate chips

  • 3 Tbsp / 60g maple syrup or honey

  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/4 tsp cloves

  • 1/4 tsp ginger

  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Directions:

  1. In a medium bowl combine all ingredients; mix well.

  2. Roll mixture into approximately 1 inch balls.  Place in a container and store in the refrigerator, or freeze for snacking at a later date. 

Jenny's Notes:

  • With these types of recipes you do not have to be overly exact in your measurements.  If the dough seems too soft, simply add more oats or flax.  Too crumbly and you can add any number of things, honey, maple syrup, peanut butter...the choice is yours to personalize as you wish!

  • To make these energy bites vegan, be sure to use maple syrup instead of honey. For gluten-free energy bites, make sure your oats are certified gluten-free. For dairy-free, ensure your chocolate chips are dairy-free.
