These no-bake pumpkin pie energy bites are a quick, healthy, and delicious snack made with just five simple ingredients. Perfect for busy families, lunchboxes, or a last-minute treat, they taste like a healthier version of pumpkin pie filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (125g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup (130g) creamy peanut butter (natural, no added sugar or oil)
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and pumpkin pie spice. Stir to distribute the spice evenly.
  2. Add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and peanut butter. Mix with a spatula, pressing down firmly, until a thick, cohesive dough forms. The texture should be slightly sticky but firm enough to hold its shape. If too dry, add a teaspoon of maple syrup; if too wet, add a tablespoon more oats.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to make the mixture easier to handle.
  4. Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make 16-18 bites.
  5. Place the rolled bites on the parchment-lined sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up completely.
  6. Enjoy immediately or transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months.

Notes

For best results, chill the mixture before rolling. If the mixture sticks to your hands, lightly wet your palms with water. These taste even better the next day as flavors meld. Optional add-ins: a pinch of salt, 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, or 2 tablespoons chia seeds.
