Pumpkin Pie Truffles

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

These don’t need much of an explanation .. if you like pumpkin pie and you like chocolate, you will LOVE these. The center is dreamy & creamy and the outside is perfectly coated in dark chocolate. Flaky sea salt is optional but HIGHLY recommended. You can buy Maldon salt on Amazon for $6 and your life will be forever changed ..

Anyway, back to the truffles!! These are super simple to make – think one bowl, no oven .. and use simple ingredients you likely have on hand. I whipped these up trying to move through leftover canned pumpkin & pumpkin pie dessert hummus and they are fabulous. This recipe only makes 6 -8 truffles, so fair warning, you might want to double the batch .. Enjoy!

Ingredients

Pumpkin Truffles

  • 2 tbsp pumpkin purΓ©e
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin pie dessert hummus I used Boar's Head brand! If you don't have this hummus, I am going to guess that you can sub more pumpkin purΓ©e but I haven't tested to be sure πŸ™‚ I'd recommend adding a bit more coconut flour if you are only using pumpkin (no hummus) to thicken up the texture.
  • 1/4 cup almond butter you can use creamy or crunchy; just make sure the only ingredients are almonds & salt! You can sub for another nut butter if you'd like (like cashew), but peanut might overwhelm the pumpkin flavor.
  • 2-3 tbsp coconut flour If the dough seems too wet/goopy, sprinkle in some extra coconut flour to thicken.
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • a pinch of salt

Chocolate Coating

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • Line a small tray with parchment paper and ensure the tray will fit in your freezer! I like to use the tray from my toaster oven.
  • In a medium bowl, combine all of the "pumpkin truffle" ingredients listed above until a dough forms.
  • Stick the batter in the fridge or freezer for 10 minutes while you clean up a bit. The idea is that it gets a little bit cool so that you can easily roll into balls.
  • Using a cookie scoop (or a spoon), roll the dough into 6 large or 8 small balls.
  • Put the dough balls in the freezer for 10 minutes while you prepare the chocolate coating.
  • In a microwave-safe dish, combine the chocolate chips with the coconut oil and melt in 20-30 second increments until well combined/melted. Don't over-heat/burn the chocolate!
  • Pull the balls from the freezer and dip in the chocolate with a spoon. It might get a little messy .. that's ok! Return the truffles to the parchment lined tray and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and pumpkin spice.
  • Put in the freezer to fully set (~30 minutes) and enjoy! Store remaining truffles in the fridge in an airtight container.

I'm obsessed with how soft & delicate these cookies are, thx to a blend of almond and coconut flours. There's just enough lemon to make them slightly tart but still sweet ☺️

Catch them this Saturday at my pop up at @fernbotanica 12-5PM 🌿 These babies always sell out so get there early or pre-order a box! πŸ’›πŸ˜˜
How early is too early to eat a chocolate chip coo How early is too early to eat a chocolate chip cookie? Asking for a friend ... πŸ˜†

I wasn’t planning on recipe testing these babies until later today but I woke up craving joy and baking brings me just that ❀️ Make sure you carve out time today just for YOU ... without a real agenda or plan or purpose. Just because it makes you smile 😊

Also, will report back on cookies. I really want to stuff them with ice cream and freeze them so they β€œset” like a proper ice cream sandwich!!🍦πŸͺ
I journaled a bit this AM and a few themes came up I journaled a bit this AM and a few themes came up: comparison, restless brain, and success. Here's what I have for you ...⁣
⁣
1. Comparison is the thief of joy. Stop comparing!! You are unique, wonderful, capable, and SO amazing in your own right.⁣ ❀️
⁣
2. Don't believe everything you "think". Thoughts are just thoughts. Thoughts are not facts. β£πŸ€”
⁣
3. You are confined only by the walls you build yourself. If you want to see change, grab your hammer & tear down those walls! YOU are in charge of your trajectory .. no one else.⁣ πŸ”¨
⁣
Also, unrelated, but here's your Monday reminder to check in on your peeps. Most everyone I've talked to in the past few weeks is going through some real tough stuff. Be that person that brings them a little levity and some love. And if you (safely) can, hug 'em tight! I love hugs lol.⁣ πŸ€—
⁣
Which resonates w you most - 1, 2 or 3?  Hope you all have a great week!!! πŸ’–

Someone I met at my pop up on Sat (hi if you're re Someone I met at my pop up on Sat (hi if you're reading!!) commented on how much she ❀️ my mini 🍌 bread and I realized I never shared the recipe!! 

These cutie loaves are SO simple, fluffy, made with the best mix of flours (hi almond, hi oat), lightly sweetened, and packed with vegan chocolate chips! πŸ˜‹

Here's what you need:
β€’ 1 cup mashed banana ~ 2 large or 3 small 🍌 (overripe!) 
β€’ 2 eggs πŸ₯š
β€’ 1/4 cup coconut oil πŸ₯₯ - melted & cooled 
β€’ 1/3 cup maple syrup 🍁

β€’ 1 cup almond flour 
β€’ 1.5 tsp baking powder
β€’ 1 tsp cinnamon
β€’ 1/4 tsp salt
β€’ 2/3 cup @enjoylifefoods choc chips 🍫

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease your mini loaf tin (should make 7 loaves). Mash bananas in a bowl and mix in the wet ingredients - eggs, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Add in the dry ingredients - flours, BP, cinnamon, salt - and stir to combine. Fold in choc chips. Equally distribute among greased tins. Bake for 25 mins (or until toothpick comes out clean). Let cool and enjoy! πŸ’›
