Ingredients
- 2 cups dates, softened in hot water for 20 minutes
- 1 cup can pureed pumpkin
- 2 cup whole rolled oats, divided
- 1.5 TBS pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp sea salt (optional)
- 1 bag of dairy free dark chocolate chips
Directions
- Pit the dates and place in a food processor
- Pulse a few times until they begin to break down
- Add the pumpkin puree, half of the oats, pumpkin pie spice and salt if using
- Continue to pulse until well mixed and slowly add the remaining oats.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for an hour to overnight.
When you are ready to top with chocolate:
- Pour chocolate chips into a heat resistant bowl and place snugly on top of a saucepan with a few inches of water in it
- Bring heat to low and stir chips often until melted
- While you are melting the chocolate, pick off the dough little by little, roll in your hands to create a dense ball. Place on a parchment paper lined tray
- Next, you can either place a dollop of chocolate squarely on top or you can coat the whole thing.
- After you are finished, place the treats back in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set up. Serve well chilled.
