Cinnamon Pumpkin Bites

  1. Ingredients:
  2. 1 3/4 cup gluten free oat flour (or blended oatmeal)
  3. 1 T pumpkin pie spice
  4. 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  5. 1 tsp vanilla
  6. 1/4 cup nut butter
  7. 1/4 cup sweetener of choice (i used honey)
  8. 1/4 cup dairy free milk of choice 
  9. cinnamon/sugar

    Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl combine the nut butter and sweetener -heating if needed to make a more stirrable consistency. Add pumpkin and milk and then stir into dry ingredients. Add extra milk if needed, 1 T at a time - dough should be stiff enough that you can roll it into balls. 

    Roll into bite sized balls and coat in either cinnamon sugar mixture, powdered sugar or just cinnamon. I don't like using refined sugar so I did just cinnamon. 


    Keep in the refrigerator and enjoy!
