Creator: Leslie Stokes
I am seriously so excited for fall and all of the fun recipes that come with this season! I thought we would kick things off with these Pumpkin White Chocolate Energy Bites!
I love a good energy bite to help with those sugar cravings or to even eat after a workout with my protein shake, but most of them can be so caloric and that’s why I switch the creamy peanut butter for a peanut butter powder- this helps bring down the calories without taking away the yumminess!
Ingredients:
- pumpkin puree- not pumpkin pie filling
- PB Fit/Peanut Butter Powder
- quick oats- they are just better for this recipe, but you can use regular oats. I always buy gluten free!
- pumpkin pie spice
- maple syrup
- chia seeds
- flax meal
- Lilly’s White Chocolate Chips- these are low in sugar, but use whatever kind of chocolate you have on hand!
- coconut oil
*** see full recipe below
Let’s Make them!
These are so simple to make- you just need two medium size bowls and one small glass bowl to melt the chocolate!
- I do reccomend mixing the wet and dry ingredients separately before folding them in together!
- you can melt the chocolate to drizzle on top or even just add the chips into the mixture at the end
- I like to store mine in the freezer so the last longer!

You really do not have to sacrifice your nutrution goals over the fall and winter!
I really try to live a balanced life style and I don’t eat competely “clean” all through the holidays, but I do try my best! I love coming up with healthier alternatives to help with the cravings!
