WHAT MAKES PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE TRUFFLES HEALTHY
- Pumpkins are not only just a fun fall decoration! They are actually extremely nutritious! Pumpkins are not only rich in the powerful antioxidant beta carotene, but also a good source of fiber, vitamin C, potassium, copper, manganese, vitamin B 2, vitamin E, and iron!
- Almond butter is a good source of healthy fats and protein! You can alternatively substitute peanut butter in this recipe, which is similar in nutrient composition to almond butter.
- Almond flour is made from ground up almonds. It is a great alternative to conventional all-purpose flour. It has all the benefits that almonds would have! And since it is made from almonds rather than processed white flour, it does not spike your blood sugars.
- Coconut flour comes from the flesh of the coconut fruit that has been dried and ground. Similarly to almond flour, it is a great alternative to all-purpose flour.
- Maple syrup is a sweetener, and while it still has the sugar, it contains some nutrients! It has some calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, and manganese. ⅓ cup actually contains >100% of the recommended daily intake of manganese! I’d say it is still a better alternative to processed white sugar!

HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE TRUFFLES
In a food processor or high powered blender, add all of the ingredients: ⅓ cup of pumpkin puree, ⅓ cup of almond butter, 3 tablespoons of almond flour, 2 tablespoons of coconut flour, 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.
Pulse the food processor until the batter is evenly combined. You can also do this in a blender. I actually make most of my treats and all of my smoothies in a blender! Find the one I use on the kitchen gadgets page of my Amazon shop account!
Roll your batter into 12 bite sized balls. Place them on a plate and cover with parchment paper or a beeswax wrap. Put them in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
When you are ready to eat them, pull them out and let them thaw at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. This will give you a nice truffle like texture!
HOW TO STORE NO BAKE PUMPKIN TRUFFLES
These can be stored either in the fridge or the freezer. I like to store them in the freezer, because they last longer and they hold their shape a lot better. But, if you plan to eat them quickly and don’t want to wait for them to thaw out, the fridge would be a better option.
Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week and in the freezer for up to a month!
