Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Make sure there are no clumps of dry ingredients.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until well combined. The mixture should be thick and sticky.

          Add Extras: Fold in the chopped nuts, chocolate chips, and dried cranberries or raisins if using. Ensure everything is evenly distributed.

            Form Bites: Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each bite.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden. The bites should be firm to the touch but still soft in the center.

                Cool: Allow the bites to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve and Store: Enjoy these bites as a delicious snack or breakfast treat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
