Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 rolls
Ingredients
- 200g pitted dates
- 100g pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- 100g rolled oats
- 50g almond flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 200g of pitted dates, 100g of pumpkin puree, 1 tsp of pumpkin spice, 100g of rolled oats, 50g of almond flour, and 1/4 cup of maple syrup.
- In a food processor, add the pitted dates. Pulse until they form a sticky paste. If your dates are a bit dry, you can soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes before processing.
- Once the dates are processed, add the pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice to the food processor. Blend until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Next, add the rolled oats and almond flour to the mixture in the food processor. Pulse a few times until the oats and flour are incorporated into the date and pumpkin mixture.
- Pour in the maple syrup and blend again until everything is well combined. The mixture should be sticky and hold together when pressed.
- Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, about the size of a tablespoon. Place the rolled balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Once all the mixture is rolled into balls, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up the date rolls.
- After chilling, your Pumpkin Spice Date Rolls are ready to serve. Enjoy them as a healthy snack or dessert!
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips
- Choose the Right Dates: For the best flavor and texture, opt for Medjool dates. They are naturally sweet and have a soft, chewy consistency that works perfectly in this recipe.
- Soak Your Dates: If your dates are a bit dry, soaking them in warm water for about 10 minutes before processing can help achieve that sticky paste consistency.
- Customize Your Spice: Feel free to adjust the amount of pumpkin spice to suit your taste. If you love a little extra warmth, add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon for an additional flavor boost.
- Make Them Your Own: Add-ins like chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or chocolate chips can elevate your date rolls even further. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite!
- Chill for Best Results: Allowing the rolls to chill in the refrigerator not only helps them firm up but also enhances the flavors. Don’t skip this step!
- Storage Tips: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage—just thaw before enjoying!
