Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a food processor, combine pumpkin puree, peanut butter, maple syrup, toasted pecans, pumpkin pie spice, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, sea salt, and old-fashioned rolled oats. Pulse until the mixture forms a thick, cohesive paste.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll into bite-sized balls, aiming for about 15 bites total.
- Place the rolled bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals until smooth and melted.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the energy bites once they are firm, then sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.
- Return bites to freezer for 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
- Transfer the energy bites to an airtight container for storage, keeping in the freezer for up to 3 months.
