You’ll Love These Pumpkin Spice Energy Bites!

Energy balls are hands down one of my favorite snacks to make and this pumpkin version is so fun to make for the fall!

Each pumpkin spice energy bite has around 5 grams of protein, and is packed full of satiating healthy fats and delicious pumpkin spice flavor.

These energy balls taste like pumpkin spice cookie batter, but with a fun crunch from the rice krispies and white chocolate chips!

You can find the full recipe and how to make it at the bottom of this post, as always. Here are the ingredients you will need to make it!

Kitchen tips

My favorite tip for portioning energy balls is to use a mini cookie scoop! I like the 1.5 Tablespoon size, but of course you can make them smaller or larger if you like.

Step 2: Line a baking sheet with wax paper for easy cleanup. Use a mini cookie scoop or spoons to drop balls of batter onto the baking sheet.

Roll each ball with your hands to form the circular shape, then place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for one hour, or until the energy bites have hardened.

Step 3: Transfer the energy bites to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator or freezer.

A Note About Almond Butter

Most almond butters contain the following ingredients: almonds, oil, and salt. I have found that many natural nut butters do not contain added salt, so I have included instructions for both kinds.

If your almond butter is unsalted: use the full amount of salt listed in the ingredients
If your almond butter has added salt: only add 1/4 teaspoon of salt, or salt to taste.

My whole family loves energy bites! They make a great quick and healthy snack, or something sweet when that mid afternoon craving hits.

I love the addition of rice krispies for a little hidden crunch in every bite!

How to Store

Energy bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days, or in the freezer for 2-3 months.

To thaw a frozen energy bite, simply let it sit at room temperature for several minutes before enjoying!
