Healthy And Yummy Pumpkin Spice Energy Bites

Healthy, yummy no-bake pumpkin spice energy bites are packed with goodness. They are the perfect go-to snack for fall.

Fall how I love thee. Your scents and crisp cool air are so wonderful! I’m a little dramatic when it comes to fall. It’s my favorite season!

Fall brings me into the kitchen more often for baking and recipe creating. I think once the temperatures drop below 100 degrees outside I don’t feel so bad turning on my oven to bake.

Today’s recipe is perfect for the arrival of fall and it doesn’t even involve using the oven! Which is a good thing being it’s currently 103 degrees outside-eek. I live in the desert ya’ll. I won’t see cooler weather until October. But I can’t wait that long for all things pumpkin spice.

My kids love any kind of oatmeal bites and this pumpkin variation is a perfect quick and healthy fall snack. I hadn’t even rolled them into bites and the kids wanted to eat them!
