Spiced Pumpkin Bliss Balls

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
2 tsp pumpkin spice
pinch salt
1/4 cup pure pumpkin purée
2 tbsp cashew butter (and/or raw almond butter)
2 tbsp honey

optional: white chocolate

Method

  1. In a food processor, blend oats, pumpkin spice, and salt until oats are the size of coarse sand.
  2. Add pumpkin, cashew butter, and honey, and pulse until mixture comes together.
  3. Roll mixture into balls.
  4. Place in the fridge to firm up and allow flavours to develop. For best results, refrigerate overnight.
  5. For optional white chocolate coating: Melt white chocolate in 15 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and silky. Dip prepared bliss balls into chocolate then place on a plate lined with parchment paper. Chill in the fridge until coating has hardened.

Notes:

  1. For a vegan version use 1 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup instead of the 2 tbsp honey.
  2. Blend the oats to your preferred texture. You may like blending the oats only a bit and having a chunkier texture to the balls, or you may want the oats completely blended for a smooth, doughy texture.
  3. Bliss balls can also be placed in the freezer, then put into you lunch bag in the morning for the perfect snack at work or school.
  4. For jack-o-lantern style bliss balls, dip the entire ball into chocolate and allow to cool. Using a sharp knife, careful cut out designs to reveal the orange that lies underneath!
