Pumpkin Cranberry Energy Bites! Looking for a healthy pumpkin treat? This is it! Rolled oats, dried cranberries, pepitas, pumpkin spice in a granola bar bite form. Gluten-Free and easily vegan.
Ingredients
- 2 cups instant or rolled oats
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup pepitas, shelled pumpkin seeds
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place oats, cranberries, pepitas, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the peanut butter, honey and pumpkin puree. If the mixture is thick and not pourable, then microwave the mixture for 20-30 seconds. A softer mixture will make it easier to mix together.
- Pour the honey mixture into the oats and stir until combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop the mixture into small bowls (I used this tablespoon scoop) and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Continue with the rest of the mixture, then place the baking sheet in the fridge or freezer until hardened.
