Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup oat flour
  • 1 scoop plant-based vanilla protein powder
  • 15 ounces canned chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup nut butter *see note
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips **see note
  • flaky sea salt for garnish

For the optional chocolate drizzle

  • 3 tablespoons chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients except the chocolate chips to a food processor. Process until mostly smooth, scrape down the sides as needed.
  • Turn the dough out into a bowl and add the chocolate chips. Use a spoon or spatula to mix until the chocolate chips are well combined in the cookie dough.
  • Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out dough into the shape of a ball and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Alternatively, you can use a heaping tablespoon of dough and wet hands to form into balls.
  • If drizzling with chocolate, place the chocolate chips and coconut oil for the drizzle in a small bowl. Microwave until melted, stir until well combined.
  • Drizzle the melted chocolate mixture on top of the pumpkin cookie dough bites. Garnish with flaky sea salt.
  • Transfer to the refrigerator to set for 20-30 minutes. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

*Other nut butters can be used in place of cashew butter. Make sure they are creamy, not crunchy varieties.
**Make sure to use vegan chocolate chips if needed. I like the Enjoy Life brand.
