Pumpkin Pie Energy Bites (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Pumpkin Pie Energy Bites.  Time for another pumpkin recipe!  This time it’s pumpkin energy bites.  I already have a no bake pumpkin cookie recipe on my blog, but I wanted to create another one that would be great pre or post workouts.

These energy bites are packed with protein.  While these pumpkin pie energy bites are gluten free, they are not grain free.  If you wanted a grain free option for energy bites, you could probably just use nuts instead of oats.

You can make up these healthy energy bites in just a matter of minutes.  They also have no sugar added.  They are only sweetened with dates and cranberries.  I found cranberries at Natural Grocers that were sweetened with apples vs most cranberries that are sweetened with processed sugar.

I bet these energy bites would be great to put into your kiddos lunch boxes since they are nut free. 🙂
