No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Energy Bites

Directions

1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Make sure the cookie sheet can fit in your refrigerator or freezer.
2. Place sesame seeds on a small rimmed plate or in a small bowl and set aside.
3. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together the oat flour, almond flour, pumpkin pie spice and salt until well incorporated.
4. Stir in the wet ingredients (almond butter, pumpkin puree, maple syrup and vanilla). Gently fold in the chopped pecans.
5. Using a cookie dough scoop, scoop out heaping 1 tablespoon portions of the dough and roll each into a ball using your hands. Gently dip half of each ball into the sesame seeds (if using) and place directly on cookie sheet leaving a bit of space between each ball so they are not touching.
6. Place the cookie sheet in your refrigerator for two hours or longer to allow the energy bites to firm up. Store in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to one week. You can also store in your freezer for even firmer balls. If completely frozen, leave the energy bites out at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before enjoying.

1. For best results, almond butter should be slightly runny with oils stirred in well. Recipe works best with a fresh jar that has been refrigerated overnight. You do not want to use almond butter that is dry or hardened.
2. *See product page for directions on reconstituting.
