Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
- 1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour

Instructions
- Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until smooth and fully combined.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the almond flour and coconut flour gradually until a soft dough forms. Ensure all flour is fully incorporated.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough to distribute evenly.
- Adjust dough consistency: If the dough feels too sticky, let it rest for 5–10 minutes to absorb the moisture or refrigerate briefly to firm up.
- Form bites: Scoop the dough using a spoon and roll into bite-sized balls with your hands, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Chill: Place the bites on a parchment-lined plate or tray and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Store: Keep the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 1 week.
Notes
- These bites contain no eggs and are safe to eat raw.
- Almond flour can be substituted with oat flour if preferred.
- Use dairy-free chocolate chips to keep the recipe vegan.
- Chilling time is essential to help the bites firm up before serving.
