A no-bake snack made from oats, nut butter, pumpkin purée, and warming spices, rolled into balls and chilled. Quick to put together, naturally sweetened with maple syrup, and easy to keep in the fridge for up to two weeks — a practical option for packed lunches or after-school snacks.
Dry ingredients
Wet ingredients
Mix the dry ingredients
Combine the oats, coconut, flaxseed, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl and stir well.
Add the wet ingredients
Add the almond butter, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla. Stir until everything is fully combined.
Chill
Refrigerate the mixture for 10–20 minutes until firm enough to roll.
Shape
Roll the mixture into 20–25 balls using your hands or a small scoop.
Store
Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
If the mixture is too soft to hold its shape, add a little more oats. If it feels too dry or crumbly, add a little more nut butter or maple syrup. Any creamy nut or seed butter works in place of almond butter — sunflower seed butter makes it nut-free. If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, substitute 1 tsp ground cinnamon, ½ tsp ground ginger, ¼ tsp ground nutmeg, ¼ tsp ground allspice, and a pinch of ground cloves.
