Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 20 energy bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond butter, honey, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin spice. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and form a consistent texture.
- Add chocolate chips to the mixture and gently fold them in, ensuring they are distributed evenly throughout the batter.
- Cover the mixing bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 15-20 minutes to allow it to firm up, which will make it easier to form into bite-sized balls.
- Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and use clean hands to roll the mixture into small, uniform balls approximately 1-inch in diameter. Each ball should be compact and hold together well.
- Place the energy bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or storage container. For best results, store in the refrigerator to maintain their shape and freshness.
- Optionally, roll the energy bites in additional pumpkin pie spice or finely chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
- Refrigerate the energy bites for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow them to set completely. They can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
Tips
- Mix Thoroughly: Ensure that all ingredients are well combined in the mixing bowl to achieve a consistent texture. This will help the energy bites hold together better.
- Chill the Mixture: Refrigerating the mixture for 15-20 minutes before rolling will make it easier to form into balls and help them maintain their shape.
- Uniform Size: Aim to roll the energy bites into uniform 1-inch balls for even portioning and a more appealing presentation.
- Add a Twist: For an extra flavor kick, consider rolling the energy bites in additional pumpkin pie spice or finely chopped nuts before refrigerating.
- Storage: Keep the energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days to maintain freshness and flavor.
- Serving Suggestions: Enjoy these bites as a quick snack, a pre-workout boost, or even a sweet treat after dinner!
