Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Cook the sweet potato by either boiling, baking, or microwaving until it is fully tender. Allow it to cool before using.
- In a food processor, combine the pitted dates and pecans. Blend until the mixture forms a sticky, crumbly consistency. If necessary, use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure even mixing.
- Add the cooled sweet potato, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and a dash of salt to the food processor. Blend until the mixture is well combined and smooth. The texture should be thick and pliable.
- Using clean hands, scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat this process until all of the mixture is used. You should get about 12-15 energy bites, depending on the size.
- Place the energy bites on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper and refrigerate them for at least 1 hour to firm up. Once chilled, store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Enjoy your Pumpkin Pie Spice Energy Bites as a convenient, healthy snack perfect for seasonal cravings!
Tips:
- Make sure to use soft, medjool dates for easier processing.
- Roast the sweet potato and let it cool before adding it to the mixture. Roasting will bring out its natural sweetness.
- You can adjust the spices according to your taste preference.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a small amount of water or extra dates to achieve the desired consistency.
- Store the energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze them for longer storage.
Pumpkin pie spice energy bites are a convenient and healthy snack option that capture the essence of fall flavors. By following these tips and using wholesome ingredients, you can enjoy a tasty treat that’s both satisfying and nutritious.
