Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup nut butter
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 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)

Chocolate & Finishing

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup melted chocolate for dipping
  • Optional: 1 tsp coconut oil for melting chocolate

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the nut butter, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until the mixture is fully combined and forms a dough-like consistency.
  3. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm up.
  4. Melt Chocolate for Dipping: While chilling the dough, melt 1 cup of chocolate with 1 tsp coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and ready for dipping.
  5. Shape and Dip: Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it into bite-sized balls. Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate until fully coated.
  6. Set and Store: Place the dipped pumpkin bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate or freeze until the chocolate hardens. Store finished bites in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

  • You can substitute coconut flour with almond flour if preferred, but note that the quantity differs (3/4 to 1 cup almond flour instead of 1/4 cup coconut flour).
  • If your nut butter is salted, omit the added salt to avoid oversalting.
  • Adding coconut oil to the melting chocolate helps achieve a smoother consistency and shinier finish.
  • Store pumpkin bites in the freezer for a firmer texture or in the fridge for a softer bite.
  • These pumpkin bites are perfect for a quick snack, holiday treats, or lunchbox additions.
