Pumpkin energy bites

Fall, to me, means pumpkin-spiced everything.  

I can’t get enough of these pumpkin-spice muffins these yummy pumpkin waffles, and of course, pumpkin-spice lattes. Not only does pumpkin add a delicious flavour and vibrant colour, but it also adds loads of nutritional value, containing lots of potassium, beta-carotene and fibre. 

Because I’m all about “quick and easy” these days, I’ve been making lots of no-bake energy/protein bites (or “balls” depending on what you like to call them).

My kids love them, they pack a punch when it comes to nutrition and they’re super easy to make. I find that they are the perfect after-school, or on-the-go snack on busy days. Naturally, I had to make a pumpkin-spice version of these, and decided to add chocolate (of course), oats and maple syrup for a bit of sweetness. 

I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
