Easy, no-bake pumpkin energy bites made with healthy ingredient — pumpkin, oatmeal, and all of your favorite warm spices. The perfect grab-and-go breakfast, pre-workout or afternoon snack!
It’s official, I’m finally ready say summer’s over, strap on my boots and jump into fall. And after spending a girls weekend at Aamodt’s Apple Farm and St. Croix Vineyards in Stillwater, MN I’m so excited about fall. Bring on the apples, pumpkin, squash, lattes and cider (and red vino too).
These no-bake pumpkin energy bites are the result of me being overly excited on Sunday and purchasing numerous cans of organic pumpkin… it was on the aisle end cap (gets me every time).
But seriously this is one of my fall staples, I make a batch weekly and pop them in the fridge. They are the perfect pre-and-post workout snack; also great crumbled on top of some greek yogurt for breakfast.
Added bonus, this popular fall ingredient has way more to offer than just its comforting fall flavor. Pumpkin is loaded with beta-carotene, which per the national institute of health gives a healthy boost to your vision, heart and immune system (learn more about the health benefits of pumpkin here).
If you’re lucky you might even have all these ingredients in your pantry right now… if not, here’s another one of my favorite snacks!
