What are pumpkin energy balls?

They are bite size snacks made of dates, pumpkin puree, seeds, nuts and pumpkin spices. They are delicious vegan snacks or bite size desserts with delicious fall spices flavors. Also, they contains lots of nutrients, fiber and protein to keep you full and energized.

A a one bowl 5 minutes recipe

Those pumpkin energy bites are the fastest to make. All you need is 5 minutes, a food processor and few simple ingredients. Let’s see what you need to prepare those nutrient dense energy bites.

  • Pumpkin puree – you can use fresh or canned puree, if canned make sure it is 100% natural, no additives
  • Dates – pitted medjool dates work best as they are softer. If you plan to use Deglur dates you can soak them few minutes in hot water to soften, drain well and add in the recipe.
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Pecan – or walnuts 
  • Unsweetened shredded coconut 
  • Rolled oats – choose gluten free certified if desired or replace by millet flakes if you are sensitive to oats
  • Chia seeds 
  • Cinnamon 
  • Nutmeg
  • Ginger

How to store energy balls? 

Energy balls are vegan raw snacks that store very well at room temperature for 3 days, in a cookie jar. However, if you plan to store them for longer place the balls in an airtight container in the fridge. They will store 2 weeks. Also, note that it is better to coat the balls just before serving. Those pumpkin energy balls are moist and soft and they absorb the coating fast.

When can I eat pumpkin energy bites? 

Those pumpkin truffles are perfect for any occasion. My husband is a runner and he loves those post or pre work out as a quick fuel. Another great idea is to serve those as an afternoon tea snack with a cup of coffee or as a bite size dessert.

Prep Time5 mins

Cuisine: American, Vegan
Keyword: pumpkin energy bites
Servings: 16 bites/balls
Calories: 47kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pitted Medjool dates (170g)
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree canned or fresh, not watery (80 g)
  • 1/4 cup pecan (30 g)
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (43 g)
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut (17 g)
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (50 g)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Pumpkin spices

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger

Coconut sugar coating

  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a food processor, using the S blade attachment add all the ingredients except the rolled oats.
  • Blend on high speed for 30 seconds or until the date form a paste but you still have bites of nuts and seeds. Stop the food processor and add the rolled oat, process again to combine all the ingredients until a sticky dough form. If too sticky, add 1 tablespoon extra rolled oats at a time up to 3 tablespoons. This shouldn't happen except if you soak the dates, didn't drain well and some water is left, or you are using fresh pumpkin puree that is more wet than canned pumpkin puree.
  • Roll 16 balls between your hands palm and place each balls onto a plate covered with parchment paper.

Cinnamon coconut sugar coating - optional

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine coconut sugar and cinnamon.
  • Roll each balls into the coconut sugar cinnamon mixture to add some crunch and sweetness.
  • Otherwise you can roll them into unsweetened desiccated coconut or rolled oats.

Storage

  • Store up to 2 weeks in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

Dates:
Deglur/deglor dates are drier than Medjool date. I recommend you pre soak those for 10 minutes in hot water, drain, squeeze out excess water before adding to the food processor.
