Peace, family

Fall is once again on the horizon, and no one is more excited than yours truly. It’s my absolute favorite season, and apparently I’m in good company. For the past few weeks my social feeds have been filled with many of you anxiously awaiting all things Autumn – sweaters, boots, bonfires, cider, baking, and of course – pumpkin spice everything.  While I’m not a fan of pumpkin spice everything, I do enjoy the occasional indulgence. What’s a girl to do when she’s craving fall vibes, but temperatures are still hitting the mid 90s in Texas? Make these no-bake, pumpkin spice energy balls. Extra heavy on the no-bake! I cannot be bothered with my oven in these temps. Let’s get into some details.

What Ingredients Do I Need?

  • Pitted Fresh Medjool Dates – Dates provide a delicious and nutritious way of adding sweetness to the recipe without the need for added sugar. 
Fresh dates
  • Grain Free Granola – I follow a lower-carb lifestyle, so I opted for grain free granola. There are many brands out there, but I’ll link the one I used below in the recipe card. If grains are not an issue for you, feel free to use traditional granola.

  • Pumpkin Puree – You can make your own pumpkin puree from scratch, if you’re up for the job, but the canned version works just fine. It’s also plentiful this time of year so you should have no issue finding it at most large grocers.
  • Flax Seed – There are many health benefits for flax seeds, including healthy fat, fiber, protein, and blood sugar control.  
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice – I actually have a recipe for a homemade pumpkin spice blend, but there are also premade blends available at the grocery store during fall.

  • Vanilla Extract – Vanilla adds that familiar and comforting element that we’ve all grown accustomed to in autumn desserts. 
  • Kosher Salt – just a pinch to allow for full expression of all the flavors.
  • Water – Water is completely optional. What I do is add it slowly, about a ½ teaspoon at a time if my mixture is too dry in the food processor. 

What Tools Do I Need?

My favorite thing about this recipe is that it requires minimal kitchen tools, which also means easy cleanup. The main tool that you will need is a food processor. 

How to Make No-Bake Pumpkin Spice Energy Balls

Y’all, this process is so easy. You simply combine all of the ingredients in the food processor, and pulse for 30 seconds to 1 minute. You’re looking to achieve a cohesive mixture that’s slightly sticky and rolls easily between your palms like cookie dough.

If your mixture feels too dry, try adding ½ teaspoon of water at time. You’ll then roll the mixture into 12 even balls, and pop them in the refrigerator to chill and enjoy at your leisure.

How Long Will They Last?

I would recommend keeping these in your refrigerator, sealed, for up to 6 days.

Need more pumpkin content in your life? I highly recommend trying this Vegan Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew by Capri Lilly of Good Food Baddie. It’s absolute perfection, and is a Starbucks copycat (*whispers* but better),
