These energy bites combine old-fashioned oats, pumpkin puree, and a blend of fall spices with peanut butter and honey for a chewy, no-bake snack. They come together in one bowl and chill briefly before rolling, making them a fast option for lunchboxes or afternoon fuel. A touch of mini chocolate chips adds sweetness without overpowering the pumpkin spice flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed

Method

  1. In a large bowl, stir together the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.

  2. Add the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir until a thick, sticky dough forms.

  3. Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes to firm up and make rolling easier.

  5. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough per piece and roll between your palms into a smooth ball, repeating with the remaining dough to make about 24 bites.

  6. Arrange the bites on a plate or in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving to set.
