Pumpkin Energy Bites are bite-sized, nutrient-packed snacks perfect for on-the-go mornings, pre- or post-workout fuel, or a healthy sweet treat. Made with oats, pumpkin, seeds, and a touch of chocolate, these no-bake bites are easy to make, naturally sweetened, and full of autumnal flavor.

Ingredients

2 cups oats

1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/4 cup almond butter or peanut butter

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/4 cup pumpkin seeds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

1/2 cup maple syrup or honey

Generous pinch of salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon (if using), and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree, nut butter, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined.
  4. Fold in dark chocolate chips.
  5. Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1–1.5 inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Swap almond butter for sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.

Add shredded coconut, raisins, or dried cranberries for extra texture and flavor.

Mix in a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice for more autumn warmth.

Use carob chips or white chocolate chips instead of dark chocolate if preferred.

Roll bites in shredded coconut, cocoa powder, or crushed nuts for a fun coating.
