Ingredients

• 1/2 cup nut butter (almond, peanut, or your favorite)
• 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup coconut flour (or 3/4-1 cup almond flour)
• 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 tsp salt (if nut butter isn’t salted)
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1 cup melted chocolate for dipping

Directions

1. Mix the Wet Ingredients:

• In a large bowl, combine the nut butter, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

2. Add the Dry Ingredients:

• To the wet mixture, add the coconut flour (or almond flour), pumpkin pie spice, and salt (if needed). Stir until everything is fully combined. The mixture should be thick and hold together well.

3. Fold in the Chocolate Chips:

• Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

4. Chill the Mixture:

• Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm up. This will make it easier to roll into balls.

5. Melt the Chocolate:

• While the mixture is chilling, melt the chocolate for dipping. You can do this by adding 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to the chocolate and microwaving it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.

6. Roll and Dip:

• Once the mixture has chilled, remove it from the fridge and roll it into small bite-sized balls. Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the bites onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

7. Set the Bites:

• After all the bites are dipped, refrigerate or freeze them until the chocolate is set and firm. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

8. Store and Enjoy:

• Store the pumpkin bites in the fridge or freezer until you’re ready to enjoy them. They make a perfect grab-and-go snack or a delightful dessert for any occasion.
