These Pumpkin-Spice Bliss Bites capture the essence of fall in one simple, nourishing bite. Made with pure pumpkin, almond flour, and warming spices, they deliver all the flavor of a classic pumpkin dessert without the grains, dairy, or refined sugar. Each bite offers natural sweetness, balanced energy, and a comforting aroma that instantly evokes the spirit of the holidays.

Perfect for snacking, gifting, or serving after dinner, these Paleo-friendly treats prove that clean eating can still feel indulgent.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour

  • ½ cup pure pumpkin purée (unsweetened, not pie filling)

  • ¼ cup almond butter or cashew butter

  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour

  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or raw honey

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove)

  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

  • ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional, for rolling)


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt.

  2. Add pumpkin purée, nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir until the mixture forms a soft dough.

  3. If the dough feels sticky, refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to firm up.

  4. Roll the mixture into small balls, about one tablespoon each.

  5. Optional: Roll in shredded coconut or dust lightly with cinnamon for added texture.

  6. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze for up to a month.


The Nutritional Harmony

These bliss bites combine seasonal flavor with balanced nutrition.

  • Pumpkin: High in vitamin A, beta-carotene, and antioxidants that support skin and immune health.

  • Almonds: Provide plant-based protein, magnesium, and healthy fats that stabilize blood sugar.

  • Cinnamon and Ginger: Offer anti-inflammatory properties and aid digestion.

  • Coconut: Adds natural fiber and texture while supporting metabolism.

Together, these ingredients create a satisfying, nutrient-rich treat that energizes rather than overwhelms.


Serving Suggestions

Serve chilled as a post-meal dessert, or enjoy mid-afternoon with a cup of herbal tea. For a festive presentation, place each bite in a mini paper cup, drizzle lightly with melted coconut butter, and dust with cinnamon. They also make thoughtful handmade gifts when packaged in glass jars tied with natural twine.


Final Thoughts

The Pumpkin-Spice Bliss Bites embody the simplicity of Paleo living — clean ingredients, balanced flavors, and mindful nourishment. They’re a reminder that healthy choices can still bring joy, warmth, and connection during the holiday season.
