Ingredients
Pumpkin Bites:
1 cup almond flour
½ cup pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice (optional)
Optional Pumpkin Spice Coating:
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon pumpkin spice
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a mini muffin pan with liners or a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix almond flour, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin spice (if using) until a sticky dough forms.
Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared pan.
Bake for 12–14 minutes or until the edges are golden.
Let cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
(Optional) For coating, mix sugar and pumpkin spice in a bowl. Brush each bite with maple syrup and roll in the mixture to coat.
Notes
Use well-drained homemade pumpkin puree if not using canned.
Substitute agave or date syrup for a different flavor.
Nut-free version: use oat flour (adjust quantity for texture).
Try chai spice or cinnamon instead of pumpkin spice for a twist.
