Pecan Pumpkin Pie bites

These yummy little treats, are low carb and completely all natural ingredients, I enjoy having these in my bag with me at work as a nice snack.
When I made this recipe I tripled the recipe because as you can see it only yields 6 servings.




Pecan Pumpkin Pie Bites
yields 6 two-bite servings
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup chopped medjool dates, about 6 pitted
  • 1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp raw pecans pieces
  • 1/2 cup raw pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1 Tbsp pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Directions:
  1. Place chopped dates into the bowl of a food processor, and process until the dates form a ball of sticky paste. Remove from the processor bowl.
  2. Place 1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp pecan pieces into the food processor bowl, and process until finely ground. There may be a few larger pieces, which is okay.
  3. Add date paste back into the processor bowl, along with the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Process mixture until it forms a large ball. Remove from food processor.
  4. Form 6 small balls out of the mixture by rolling them between your palms. Set aside.
  5. Place the 1/2 cup roughly chopped pecans onto a cutting board or plate and roll the balls around in the nuts until fully coated.
  6. Once again, roll the balls between your palms so that the nuts adhere and create a “crust”.
  7. Store in the refrigerator.
