Pumpkin Pie Energy Bites (Vegan and Gluten Free)

October 6, 2014May 30, 2017 Melissa King 61 Comments

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. 🙂

Pumpkin Truffles. Are you sick of pumpkin yet? I am so obsessed with pumpkin recipes these days. These pumpkin chocolate truffles are delicious and they would be perfect for a Thanksgiving dessert.

I had to stop myself from eating more than one. These pumpkin chocolate truffles may be my most favorite pumpkin dessert recipe yet! You can’t really go wrong with pumpkin and chocolate!

These pumpkin truffles are a little bite of heaven. You only need 7 ingredients to make them! They are vegan, gluten free and paleo. Imagine a pumpkin cream covered in chocolate.

Perfection! I used chocolate chips in my recipe, but this would also work with my 3 ingredient chocolate recipe. If you choose to use that, don’t add the milk. Just make the chocolate sauce as is. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Paleo Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes

You guys! These paleo pumpkin pie cupcakes are pretty bomb. It all started with this recipe. One of my readers asked me if I could do a healthier version.

Well I always love a challenge, and I have to say these paleo pumpkin pie cupcakes came out awesome. Unlike the original, mine have NO flour and NO refined sugars.

They are also dairy free, egg free and vegan. You can whip them up pretty fast!

You don’t even need a mixer to make the cupcakes. Just a food processor or blender will do. If you want to make the whipped topping, you will need a mixer.

It’s super easy to make though. If you love pumpkin, you may also like this post. I use bananas in the recipe, but I swear you can’t taste them with the pumpkin and spices.

At least I couldn’t. I was very surprised at how the texture of these cupcakes was very close the texture of actual pumpkin pie.

Pumpkin Creme Bars. OMG! These pumpkin creme bars are amazing! Since it’s technically September, it’s okay to start rolling out the pumpkin recipes.

One can never have too many pumpkin recipes right? Especially when they are healthy pumpkin recipes.

Since it’s still in the 100’s here in Texas, I thought my first pumpkin recipe of the season should be a frozen treat. So I am starting with these pumpkin creme bars. These bars are so easy to make and the recipe only contains 9 ingredients!

These pumpkin creme bars are vegan, gluten free, dairy free and even paleo friendly. If you needed a nut free option, I suppose you could use pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds in place of the pecans. I love everything about this recipe.

Starting with the cinnamon pecan crust, then the creamy pumpkin center and it’s topped with creamy chocolate. If you are a lover of all things pumpkin, you may also enjoy this post.

I used vegan chocolate chips for my chocolate topping, but you can also probably use my 3 ingredient chocolate bar recipe.
