How to Make Pumpkin Spice

I will have to admit that I horde Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice every year when fall comes around. By the way, it is hands down my favorite time of the year to visit Trade Joes, when they are stocked with everything pumpkin.

You can find pumpkin spice or pumpkin pie spice in other grocery stores as well, but they are more expensive.

Here is how you can make your own pumpkin spice:

• 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Mix all the spices up and there you have pumpkin pie spice before the official fall season comes.

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Energy Balls

These Pumpkin Spice Energy balls are so easy to make!

First, soak the raw cashews overnight in warm water and a pinch of salt. This process will not only soften the nuts and result in creamy energy bites texture, but also sprout the nuts.

Sprouting nuts make the nutrients and minerals easier for our bodies to digest.

Here are the ingredients you need for this pumpkin recipe:

• Pumpkin Puree
• Cashews
• Nut butter of choice (I used pecan butter)
• Dates
• Pumpkin spice

Optional Ingredients

• Cacao Nibs 
• Coconut flour

Optional Ingredients and Substitution for this Pumpkin Recipe

1. Nuts and Seeds for pumpkin spice energy balls

I love using raw cashews because it results in the most creamy texture for this no-bake energy ball recipe. But you could use other kinds of raw nuts of your choice.

2. Nut or Seed Butter

The best type to use here is smooth nut butter. I used pecan butter in this pumpkin spice energy ball recipe. But I also love peanut butter (if you are not following the paleo diet), almond butter or cashew butter.

If you have a nuts allergy, you can use sunflower seeds butter, or tahini (which is made from sesame seeds).

3. Coconut Flour

Use a few tablespoons of coconut flour if the batter turns out too soft. Sometimes, depending on how runny the nut butter and pumpkin puree are, the batter texture can vary.

4. Sweetener of Choice (Keto, Paleo Options)

In this pumpkin spice Energy Balls recipe, I used Medjool dates which are paleo-friendly.

You can also use honey if you are not following a vegan diet. Maple syrup will also be an amazing fall-themed sweetener for this pumpkin spice recipe which is vegan.

In order to make this energy ball recipe Keto-friendly, substitute for keto-friendly sweeteners such as stevia.
