Just in case you're on the hunt for a sweet treat today . . . I've got some balls for you.
I'm not going to pretend that these are candy.
They're not.
But they're sweet (without any refined sugar), and they're pumpkin-pie flavored! Plus, they only take about 5 minutes to make and require only five ingredients, which you probably already have sitting in your pantry.
So if you're craving something sugary, I highly recommend making these as a Halloween treat. They're a great pre- or post-workout snack option and awesome for traveling. I'm definitely going to make another batch the next time we take a trip.
Homemade Pumpkin Pie Larabar Balls
Prep time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 Minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup (about 14) pitted medjool dates (I used Natural Delights)
- 1/2 cup raw walnuts
- 1/4 cup blanched almond slices
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions:
- Place all ingredients into a food processor, and process until the mixture is finely chopped and sticky.
- Roll into balls, and enjoy. My batch made 12 balls - minus a few bites I stole from the batter.
- Place any leftover balls into a storage container. Balls can be kept at room temperature, but I recommend storing them in the fridge for best results.
