Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare a Workspace: Start by clearing a clean surface to work on, and gather all your ingredients.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, pumpkin puree, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended and smooth.

      Add Dry Ingredients: To the mixture, add the rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix everything until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

        Incorporate Optional Add-ins: If you're using chocolate chips, nuts, or shredded coconut, fold them into the mixture now. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout.

          Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes. This will make it easier to handle.

            Form the Bites: Once chilled, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Use your hands to scoop out small portions (about 1 inch in diameter) and roll them into balls.

              Store Properly: Place the energy bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a plate. Once all the mixture is rolled into bites, you can refrigerate them for immediate use or store them in an airtight container.

                Enjoy & Share: These bites can be enjoyed immediately or stored in the fridge for up to a week, making them perfect for quick snacks or on-the-go energy boosts!
