Calories: 136kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- ¾ cup pumpkin purée
- ¾ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ cup coconut flakes
- ¾ cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with silicone liners.
- Add the oats to a food processor and pulse until they become a coarse flour.
- Add the pumpkin purée, applesauce, cinnamon, and coconut flakes to the processor. Blend until a smooth batter forms.
- Transfer the batter to a bowl and stir in the raisins by hand.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are set.
- Allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing.
Notes
- Tweak to taste: Add more spice and/or a touch of sweetness, as well as play around with your favorite mix-ins.
- When blending the oats: Pulse them into coarse oat flour. You don’t want to lose all texture, but want it fine enough to bind the pumpkin oatmeal energy bites.
- Avoid overbaking: Otherwise, the pumpkin bites may be dry.
