Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (90 g) dates, pitted
- 1/4 cup (60 g) pumpkin puree
- 2 Tbsp (30 ml) maple syrup
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (60 g) rolled oats
- 1/4 cup (28 g) coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
For Rolling
- 1 tsp (4 g) coconut or granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Process Ingredients: Add all the wet and dry ingredients (dates, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, rolled oats, coconut flour, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon) to a food processor or high-speed blender. Process on high until the dates and oats break down and the mixture sticks together easily. If the mixture feels too dry, add non-dairy milk or water one tablespoon at a time until the right consistency is achieved.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a shallow bowl, combine the 1 tsp sugar and 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon for rolling the bites.
- Form Bites: Using a heaping tablespoon of the prepared dough, roll it between your hands to form a ball. Then roll the ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat it evenly.
- Set Aside: Place the coated bites on a plate or tray. Repeat the rolling and coating process with the remaining dough.
- Store: Store the prepared pumpkin snickerdoodle bites in an airtight container. For best freshness, keep them refrigerated and consume within 5-7 days. Alternatively, freeze the bites for longer storage, up to 1 month, and thaw before serving.
Notes
- Use Medjool dates for natural sweetness and easier processing.
- If you don’t have pumpkin puree, canned pumpkin works equally well.
- Adjust the cinnamon sugar coating to your taste preference.
- For creamier bites, add a tablespoon of almond butter during processing.
- These bites are naturally gluten-free if using certified gluten-free oats.
- Store in the fridge for a firmer texture or freeze for longer keeping.
