Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup almond butter
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for easier mixing. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to place the finished bliss balls.

- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 15-20 minutes to help it firm up, making it easier to roll into balls.
- Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and use clean hands to roll the mixture into small, uniform balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter.

- For extra indulgence, roll some balls in additional pumpkin pie spice or crushed graham crackers if desired.

Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This makes mixing much easier and helps achieve a smooth consistency.
- Mixing the Oats and Spice: When combining the rolled oats with pumpkin pie spice, take your time to stir thoroughly. This ensures that every bite is packed with that delightful pumpkin flavor.
- Sticky Mixture: Don’t worry if the mixture seems sticky; this is what helps the balls hold together. If it’s too sticky to handle, refrigerate it for a few minutes before rolling.
- Uniform Size: For even cooking and presentation, aim for uniform balls about 1 inch in diameter. This will also help with portion control!
- Extra Flavor: For a fun twist, roll some of the bliss balls in additional pumpkin pie spice or crushed graham crackers before refrigerating. This adds an extra layer of flavor and makes them even more visually appealing.
- Chill Time: Allow the bliss balls to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes after rolling. This not only helps them set but also enhances the flavors, making them even more delicious.
- Storage: Keep your Pumpkin Pie Bliss Balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They make for a great grab-and-go snack!
