No Bake Pumpkin Pie Bites

These no-bake pumpkin pie bites are a healthy treat made with real ingredients and pumpkin spice. It’s the perfect snack to pair with a pumpkin spice latte or Iced Coffee.

I’m taking all the flavors of pie and rolling them into healthy pumpkin pie bites- without the mess and fuss of making dough or turning on the oven!

Pumpkin Pie Bites

When asked to create a pumpkin-inspired snack that’s gluten-free, these no-bake bites were born. They are chewy, sweet, and have just the right touch of cloves, ginger, and cinnamon. You could classify them under healthy desserts and I guarantee you will be asked to make these again and again.

Pumpkin recipes are one of the most popular recipes in my collection and I’m glad to know that you love pumpkin as much as I do!

These bites are also a terrific appetizer idea for a Thanksgiving dinner. It’s why I included them on my Giving Thanks menu, a holiday menu with 20+ recipes to choose from, including desserts and starters!

Ingredients

Real ingredients packed with flavor and nutrition come together for the ultimate fall-inspired snack! To make this No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Bites you will need:

• Raisins or dates: add nutrition and natural sweetness.
• Pecans: cashew pieces or walnuts. Use sunflower seeds to make it nut-free.
• Pumpkin puree: the heart of these bites! You can use leftovers from other pumpkin recipes.
• Unsweetened shredded coconut: quick oats make a great swap!
• Vanilla: add that delicious dessert flavor we all love!
• Pumpkin pie spice: or you can make your own with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. 

You'll find the measurements in the recipe card below.

With four kids in the house, I can never have enough snacks on hand. Recently, I’ve found myself making more bite-sized snacks that satisfy both the need for a snack and the craving for something sweet.

How to Make Pumpkin Pie Bites

To make this recipe you will need a food processor, it’s the best way to create a thick and smooth paste needed for the chewy texture of these bites. Here’s the step-by-step:

1. Soak the raisins
   Place the raisins in a bowl of warm water and soak for 10 minutes. Drain out the excess water making sure to squeeze out the extra water with a clean kitchen cloth.
2. Make the paste
   In a food processor, process the raisins and nuts until they form a smooth paste. Add the puree, coconut, vanilla, and pumpkin spice. Pulse a few times until the ingredients are combined.
3. Chill out
   Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Shape
   Once chilled, use a spoon to scoop the mixture into your hands, about a tablespoon worth for each bite, and shape them into balls. Place the bites in a large airtight container, in an even layer. Refrigerate for up to 4 days.

As you can see in the YouTube video, you can store extras in an airtight container in the fridge. If you have pumpkin lovers in the house, you might want to double the batch.
