Ingredients

White Chocolate Coating

  • 2 - 9 oz bags vegan white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut sugar, almond flour, coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  • Add the pumpkin, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir with a rubber spatula. Make sure wet ingredients are completely incorporated. Dough should hold together when squeezed with your hand (Mixing with your hands works well too). If dough is too dry, add one tablespoon of water at a time until dough holds together.
  • Use a #40 cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop dough and then roll into a ball with your hands. Place on the prepared baking sheet. You can place balls close together as they will be chilling in the refrigerator.
  • Chill cookie dough balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Once chilled, melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl for 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until almost all chips have melted. Stir until smooth.
  • Use two forks to quickly dip each ball, coat, and shake off excess chocolate before transferring it back to the baking sheet.
  • Once all pumpkin balls are coated, place them in the refrigerator to chill for 30 more minutes.

Notes

To store: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips:
  • White chocolate can burn easily so keep a close eye on it in the microwave and make sure you stir well between each interval.
  • If the dough seems a little sticky, let it sit for 15 minutes so the coconut flour has time to absorb some of the liquid. Otherwise, try chilling the dough briefly to help firm it up before rolling into balls.
