Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/4 cup natural nut butter (almond or peanut)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup ground flaxseed (optional, for added nutrition)

1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds (optional, for extra crunch)

Instructions
 

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, canned pumpkin puree, nut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix these ingredients thoroughly until they form a cohesive mixture.

    Sprinkle in the pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well, making sure to evenly distribute the spices throughout the mixture to enhance the overall flavor profile.

      If you choose to include them, gently fold in the ground flaxseed, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts or seeds. Continue mixing until everything is fully incorporated. The texture should be thick and slightly sticky, perfect for shaping.

        To form the energy bites, take about 1 tablespoon of the mixture with your hands or a small cookie scoop and roll it into a ball. Place each ball on a parchment-lined plate or tray. Repeat this step with the remaining mixture until you've formed all the bites.

          Once all the energy balls are shaped, cover the plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling step is important as it helps the bites firm up and hold their shape.

            After they have chilled, enjoy your Pumpkin Spice Power Bites as a healthy snack or a pre-workout energy boost. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, allowing you to savor these nutritious treats longer.

                Presentation Tips: For an attractive serving option, arrange the energy bites on a rustic platter garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few whole nuts for visual appeal.
