Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Mixture

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1/2 cup nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin purée, nut butter, rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, maple syrup (if using), and a pinch of salt until all ingredients are well incorporated forming a sticky dough.
  2. Shape Truffles: Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter, ensuring they hold together firmly.
  3. Chill Until Firm: Place the pumpkin truffles on a lined tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up and the flavors to meld.
  4. Serve and Store: Once chilled and firm, enjoy immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats rather than quick oats for better texture and binding.
  • Nut butter can be swapped with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
  • Add shredded coconut or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste with more or less maple syrup or honey.
  • If mixture is too wet to roll, add more oats gradually until it holds together well.
