- 1 cup pumpkin puree - 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter - 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice These five key ingredients create the base of your No Bake Pumpkin Pie Bites. The pumpkin puree brings that lovely fall flavor. Creamy peanut butter adds richness and helps bind the mixture. Honey or maple syrup gives sweetness, while vanilla extract and pumpkin spice enhance the taste. - 1 cup crushed graham crackers - 1/2 cup crushed walnuts or pecans (optional) - Dark chocolate chips You can customize your bites with these fun add-ins. Crushed graham crackers add a nice crunch and texture. Walnuts or pecans give extra flavor and nutrients. Dark chocolate chips can be melted for drizzle if you want a sweet touch on top. - Extra pumpkin spice - Whole walnuts - Fresh pumpkin slices Garnishing makes your bites look even better. A sprinkle of extra pumpkin spice adds charm. Whole walnuts or fresh pumpkin slices can also create a festive display. These simple touches make your treats eye-catching and fun to serve. To start, mix the wet ingredients together. In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, creamy peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until the mix is smooth and well blended. This step ensures that all the flavors meld together perfectly. Next, incorporate the dry ingredients. Gradually fold in the crushed graham crackers and crushed nuts if you are using them. Keep mixing until everything is fully combined. The mixture should feel thick and moldable, perfect for shaping. Now comes the fun part—shaping the bites! Use your hands to scoop out small portions of the mixture. Roll them into balls about 1 inch in diameter. This size is just right for a quick treat. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. The parchment helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easy. The final step is the refrigeration process. Chill the pumpkin pie bites for at least 30 minutes. This lets them firm up, making them easier to handle and eat. Once chilled, they will have a nice texture that holds together well.

Each spice brings a different flavor to your bites. When serving these bites, presentation counts. Use a nice platter and add a sprinkle of pumpkin spice. You can also place whole walnuts or slices of fresh pumpkin around the bites. For drinks, consider pairing these with warm apple cider or a nice cup of coffee. The flavors blend well together and create a cozy vibe. If your bites feel too soft, add more crushed graham crackers. This helps firm them up. If the mixture sticks to your hands, dampen your fingers with water. This simple trick makes rolling easier and keeps the mess at bay. {{image_2}} You can make these pumpkin pie bites fit your diet.
