These pumpkin energy bites are great for quick snacking and healthy eating! I found the original recipe here, but have altered it slightly to suit my taste buds and sneak in a few more ingredients.

Combine the following ingredients:

*3 cups dry, uncooked rolled oats

*1 cup peanut or almond butter (my favorite is a coconut peanut butter)

*1 cup (8oz) organic pumpkin puree (add a few more oz for more pumpkin flavor)

*2/3 cup raw honey (pure maple syrup optional for sweeter bites)

*1/2 tsp cinnamon

*1/4 tsp ground cloves

*1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

*1/2 tsp vanilla extract

*4-6 tbsp. chia seeds (start with 4 and add more if dough seems too wet)

*2-4 tbsp. ground flax seed

*1 cup total of any of the following: chopped walnuts, chopped almonds, chopped peanuts, coconut flakes

*Optional: 1/4 to 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (I use chocolate chips and a few tsp of 100% cacao powder)

Combine all ingredients with a mixer or some elbow grease.

Roll into the size of golf balls and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

Freeze for one hour or until you can’t resist temptation any longer.

Store in an airtight container and refrigerate or freeze, and enjoy!
