Wowbutter Pumpkin Spice Bites - Cozy, No-Bake Fall Treat

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Wowbutter: 1/2 cup for creamy, nut-free richness.
  • Pumpkin purée: 1/3 cup (not pumpkin pie filling).
  • Rolled oats: 1 1/4 cups (old-fashioned oats work best).
  • Maple syrup: 2–3 tablespoons for natural sweetness.
  • Pumpkin pie spice: 1 1/4 teaspoons.
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon.
  • Sea salt: A small pinch to balance the sweetness.
  • Optional add-ins: Mini chocolate chips, chopped dried cranberries, ground flaxseed or chia seeds, shredded coconut, or a dusting of cinnamon-sugar for rolling.

Method
 

  1. Set up your mixing bowl. In a medium bowl, add the Wowbutter, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  2. Stir in the oats. Add the oats and mix with a spoon or spatula. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky. If it feels too wet, add 1–2 tablespoons more oats; if too dry, add 1 teaspoon of maple syrup or Wowbutter.
  3. Add optional extras. Fold in mini chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or a tablespoon of ground flax or chia for extra texture and nutrition.
  4. Chill the mixture. Refrigerate the bowl for 10–15 minutes. This helps the oats hydrate and makes rolling easier.
  5. Roll into bites. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll into balls with your hands. Aim for 16–18 bites, depending on size. If desired, roll them in shredded coconut or a cinnamon-sugar mix for a pretty finish.
  6. Set and store. Place the bites on a parchment-lined plate or container. Chill for another 15 minutes to firm up before serving.
