Instructions
- Prepare the Home-made Pumpkin Pie Spice by combining spices in a small bowl. Mix well and store in a small jar or spice container.
- Combine almond butter, honey, pureed pumpkin, and vanilla in a large bowl and mix until creamy.
- In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients: almond flour, flaxseed, sea salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix well. Using your hands, thoroughly knead the dough. If your dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of water and continue kneading. If your dough is too wet, add a little bit more almond flour.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop out the dough and roll into small one-inch balls. Place on a baking sheet or large plate.
- Refrigerate bites for 30 minutes before serving.
- Optional: You can dust your cookie dough bites in extra cinnamon and shredded coconut for decoration, or you can fold in crushed pecans, dark chocolate chips, or cacao nibs for a slightly different flavor and crunch.
