Description
Pumpkin Spiced Chocolate Pecan Pie Bites {Grain Free}
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 –1/3 cup grain free granola
- 1/2 cup chocolate protein, cocoa, or chocolate peanut flour {see notes for paleo option
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (I use enjoy life vegan friendly chocolate chips)
- 1/4 cup pecans (crushed or chopped) feel free to use candied pecans to make extra festive
- 1–2 tbsp pumpkin spice (and some to coat after)
- 1/3 cup almond butter (roasted is best)
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp coconut flour or extra protein if batter is too runny
Instructions
- First, if you have a large pieces of granola, mix it in a blender a little to get a more fine consistency.
- Then, in large bowl, add in all your dry ingredients.
- Then mix in your nut butter, extracts, and last the honey. Mix well (I use my hands).
- 1 tbsp of coconut flour or extra protein ONLY if batter is too runny.
- Roll into bite size balls. You can then roll bites in the extra protein/cinnamon powder after you roll. Makes about 22-24 balls.
- Feel free to roll into larger bites, or smaller to make more.
- Add more honey/nut butter if they end up being too dry to roll. Just depends on type of protein you use.
- Freeze or keep in refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- Once frozen, sprinkle with extra pumpkin spice and store in ziplock bag.
Notes
1/4 tsp butter extract is optional. But it does help bring out the buttery pecan flavor.
To make it paleo, use chocolate cocoa powder versus protein. a heaping 1/3 cup. or grassfed whey protein.
