- 1/2 cup cashew butter or alternative nut/seed spread
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 scoops plain collagen or protein powder, or substitute 1/4 cup almond flour
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice blend
Add the cashew butter (or alternative), almond flour, pumpkin puree, collagen or protein powder (or extra almond flour if substituting), maple syrup, and pumpkin spice blend to a mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is completely combined and forms a dough-like consistency.
Using a medium-sized cookie scoop, portion out the dough mixture and arrange the scoops on a plate. Transfer the plate to the freezer and let the bites chill for at least 20 minutes, or until they are firm enough to handle easily. I find this helps the bites hold their shape much better when rolling.
Take the plate from the freezer. Using your hands, gently roll each scoop into a smooth ball. If desired, drizzle the bites with melted white chocolate for a fun finish. Serve immediately, or store the energy bites in the freezer for a quick snack later on.
