These pumpkin spice balls are one of my favorite things to freeze and grab when I just need a little something at 3:00 or to enjoy with my morning coffee. They are a perfect bite size and remind me of donut holes whenever I eat them.

Ingredients

• Cream cheese: Make sure it is room temperature and soft.
• Pumpkin puree: Using puree is better than using actual pumpkin pie filling due to it having fewer sugars and spices.
• Vanilla extract: Provides a slight vanilla taste and extra flavor to the pumpkin spice balls.
• Cinnamon: A must-have for adding to the pumpkin spice flavor.
• Powdered Erythritol: A sugar substitute that is healthier and has the same consistency as powdered sugar.
• Coconut flour: A gluten-free flour that is a good source of protein.
• Almond flour: Great flour alternative that is healthier, low in carbs, and sweeter in taste.
• Coconut: Finely shredded coconut is used for coating the pumpkin spice balls.

How to Make No-Bake Pumpkin Spice Balls

• Step One – blend the cream cheese and pumpkin puree. Add the vanilla, cinnamon, and powdered erythritol until combined. Then add the flours.
• Step Two – Spoon a small amount of pumpkin filling and roll it in your hands until you get a smooth ball. Place each ball on parchment paper, repeating until all of the pumpkin mixture is gone.
• Step Three – Roll each pumpkin ball in the shredded coconut until fully coated and place them in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.

Variations for Pumpkin Spice Balls:

• Add Oats: By adding oats, you’ll chunky, yet chewy texture.
• Make Pumpkin Energy Balls: Give your pumpkin spice balls a boost of energy by adding chia seeds or ground flaxseed. These will be the perfect little energy bites.
• Add Nuts: If you want a more fall-like taste, consider adding finely chopped almonds or cashews.
• Flavors: Play around with flavors by adding spices such as ginger, nutmeg, and honey.
• Other Ideas: In replacement of the cream cheese, you can try a nut butter like almond butter. For a chocolate kick, consider adding mini chocolate chips.

Store your pumpkin spice balls in an airtight container in a refrigerator, picking as needed. They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
