These pumpkin spice protein bites are one of my favorite things to make when I want a quick fall snack. They’re easy to make, don’t require any baking, and are so delicious. It only takes about 15 to 20 minutes to whip up a batch so that you have a cozy sweet treat ready to go for the week.

Not only are these bites delicious, but they’re also nutrient-dense. Each bite has over 6 grams of protein, making them a great option for satisfying a sweet tooth while also fueling your body. The pumpkin adds fiber and vitamins, while the almond butter and almond flour bring healthy fats.

The key to this recipe is making sure to use plant-based protein powder. Unfortunately when mixed with wet ingredients like pumpkin and almond butter, whey protein or collagen dissolve in the water and make a sticky dough. Plant-based protein provides the right structure and texture for soft but not sticky bites. This makes them easy to shape and store, so you can keep them on hand for busy days.

These pumpkin spice protein bites store well in the fridge, so you can grab one or a few whenever you need a quick snack. They’re the perfect way to enjoy the flavors of pumpkin season with a little extra added protein. I hope you enjoy these pumpkin spice protein bites!
