If you’ve tried my peanut butter banana energy bites, then you already know just how delicious and convenient energy bites can be. But now that fall is in full swing, I’ve been craving all things pumpkin, and that inspired me to give my go-to recipe a cozy seasonal twist.

My pumpkin pie bites, a little snacks, capture all the warm, spiced goodness of pumpkin pie, but in the form of nutritious, no-bake energy balls. They are soft, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying, perfect for a midday boost or a quick grab-and-go breakfast.

What Makes These Pumpkin Pie Bites So Great

  • These pumpkin balls take just like the pie, but in a smaller form!
  • They are super fast to make , you just need 10 minutes!
  • They are packed with healthy ingredients that will give you a boost of energy!

Ingredients in Pumpkin Pie Bites:

This recipe is one of my favorite ways to enjoy a seasonal pumpkin snack. The ingredient list is simple yet full of flavor, making it both convenient and delicious.

  • Pure pumpkin puree
  • Honey
  • Peanut butter 
  • Old-fashioned oats
  • Chia seeds
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Pumpkin pie spice 

To create a smooth and cohesive texture, I blend the oats in a food processor before mixing. This step helps the bites hold together better and allows the pumpkin flavor to shine through.

For an extra fall-inspired twist, I used Jif Whipped Pumpkin Spice Peanut Butter, if you’ve tried it, you know it’s amazing. However, if it’s not available near you, regular peanut butter works perfectly too.

How to Make Pumpkin Pie Bites:

I guarantee these pumpkin pie bites will be your favorite healthy treat once you make it! Just mix, roll, chill, and enjoy a pumpkin-flavored treat that’s perfect for snacking on the go.

Here’s how the bites come together: 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, honey, and peanut butter.
  2. Add in the oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir well.
  3. Using a small spoon or scoop, roll the mixture into balls with your hands.
  4. Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes, or until firm, if needed.

Tips for Making Pumpkin Balls:

  • If you used the Jif Whipped Peanut Butter, there’s not need to melt it first as it’s light and relatively thin by itself.
  • If you use a regular creamy peanut butter, you many need to melt it slightly before combining it with the other ingredients.
  • Be sure to use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling! Otherwise these energy bites will end up much sweeter.

Recipe Variations to Try:

  • Instead of honey you can maple syrup to add more fall flavor!
  • If you don’t keep chia seeds on hand, flax seeds could be substituted. 
  • Switch up the peanut butter with a different nut butter like almond, cashew, or pecan!
  • For a little crunch, finely chop some nuts and roll the bites in the nuts before putting them in the fridge!

How to Store:

Store pumpkin pie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they’ll stay fresh for up to two weeks, though they’re so tasty, they probably won’t last that long!
