These soft and doughy paleo-approved pumpkin bliss balls are the perfect mid-day snack, or pre-workout quick fix, or after-dinner dessert. They are gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and vegan. They are fun to coat in whatever your heart desires. I used coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, cacao/pumpkin spice mix, and oats. They are quick and easy-no baking required. I made them as cute takeaways for a Fall into Wellness Soiree I threw. Enjoy! :)
Yields: 20
Prep time: 0 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup Medjool dates
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup pumpkin purée
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup almond butter
1/8 cup maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp pumpkin spice
1/8 tsp salt
Steps:
In a food processor, combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. It should be like a cookie dough consistency.
Once the ingredients are all blended together, form 1 inch balls. I used a mini cookie dough scooper and it worked great!
Cover in whatever coating you like! Some suggestions; chopped nuts, coconut, oats, cacao, hemp hearts, or seeds.
Put in the freezer for a minimum of 30 minutes. Best stored in the freezer or fridge up to a week.
