No Bake Pumpkin Pie Bites #snacks #vegan

While regardless it might be a little hot where you are, these no prepare pumpkin pie balls don't require any heating. That is correct, just a single bowl is required and a couple of fixings to make these sound gluten free treats.

In addition to being gluten free…

1. They are vegan!  All ingredients in this recipe are free from animal products making them 100% vegan.
2. There is no refined sugar here.  Maple syrup is used as a sweetener within the balls and pure coconut sugar is used for the coating.
3. They are full of Fall flavor!  Of course, they have pumpkin, but they also have a bit of cinnamon and pumpkin spice making them taste and smell just like Fall.

Ordinarily, these pumpkin pie balls remain incredible for 2-3 days when left revealed and at room temperature.

Ingredients
Pumpkin Pie Balls:

• 1 c. oat flour gluten free
• 1 ¼ c. almond flour
• 3 T. maple syrup
• 1/3 c. pumpkin puree
• ½ t. cinnamon
• ½ t. pumpkin pie spice
• ¼ t. salt
• ½ t. vanilla

Coconut Sugar Coating:

• ¼ c. coconut sugar
• ¼ t. cinnamon
• ¼ t. pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

1. In a large bowl combine oat flour and almond flour. Toss to combine.
2. Add remaining pumpkin pie ball ingredients and mix until well incorporated, using your hands towards the end to ensure even mixing.
3. In a small bowl combine coconut sugar, ¼ t. cinnamon and ¼ t. pumpkin pie spice. Toss to combine.
4. Scoop out 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of pumpkin pie ball mixture. Roll into a ball.
5. Place pumpkin pie ball in the coconut sugar bowl and roll to completely coat it. Place on a large plate or baking sheet.
6. Repeat the above two steps with the remaining pumpkin pie ball mixture.
7. For best texture, serve immediately. Pumpkin balls stay great at room temperature for 2-3 days. Make sure to not store the balls in an airtight container or the pumpkin will make the balls get very soggy.
8. **If you would like to store these balls for a longer time, place the balls you would like to save in the far back of your refrigerator, uncovered and untouched! During the process the balls will start to look a little soggy, but once left in the refrigerator for a day or two the coconut sugar will harden on the balls and they will keep for up to two weeks. Patience is key!**
