Pumpkin Protein Bites with Maple Coconut Glaze (no bake!)

Ingredients

Bites:

• 1 cup protein powder (I use the So Lean So Clean brand)

• 1 cup almond flour

• 1/2 cup tapioca flour or potato starch

• 1/3 cup coconut sugar (or use Allulose for sugar-free)

• 1/3 cup melted coconut oil

• 1/3 cup pumpkin purée

• 2 tablespoons raw honey

• 1 tablespoon water

Maple Coconut Glaze:

• 3 tablespoons maple syrup

• 1/3 cup coconut butter

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, almond flour, tapioca flour, and coconut sugar.

2. Stir in the melted coconut oil, pumpkin purée, honey, and water. Mix until a thick dough forms.

3. Roll the dough into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray.

4. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt together the maple syrup and coconut butter until smooth.

5. Drizzle the glaze over each protein bite.

6. Place in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes or until the glaze sets.

7. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
