Pumpkin recipe number one of the Fall season! I said “ease into fall”, but I will most definitely be leaping head first into the new season. No better way to dive head-first into fall than to dive face-first into a batch of peanut butter pumpkin truffles.

I will gladly admit to being one of those enthusiastic foodies who has eyes for only pumpkin flavored treats once Fall rolls around. Sure there are apples, pears and cranberries to be had. And I suppose I should make a few desserts that aren’t pumpkin this year …

And I will. I promise I will, but until then, you can enjoy creamy truffles packed with pumpkin, cinnamon, dates and sunflower seed butter. Every melt-in-your-mouth bite will remind you why pumpkin is the best flavor of Fall. And why covering something in chocolate is always a good idea.

The filling is decadently creamy, just lightly sweetened with dates and packed with cinnamon and pumpkin spice. I can only imagine how much better it is when wrapped in a sweet chocolate shell. I don’t know about you, but for me the beginning of autumn and the desire for all the fall recipes is met with a more hectic schedule and still-too-hot Texas weather. That’s why this no bake, sugar free recipe is kick-off-the-pumpkin-season-magic!

Peanut Butter Pumpkin Truffles

Creamy sunflower seed butter, dates and pumpkin bites covered in melted chocolate.

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup peanut butter or sunflower seed butter for nut-free/paleo, buy here
  • ¼ Cup pumpkin puree
  • 6 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 Tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 1½ Teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 Teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • Pinch of sea salt
Coating:
  • Heaping ½ cup chocolate chips, buy here
  • 1-2 Tablespoons melted coconut oil to thin

Instructions

  1. Combine all of the ingredients for the truffles (excluding the coating) in a blender or food processor. I used a small NutriBullet, but any type of food processor or high speed blender will work fine.
  2. Blend until everything is mixed and smooth.
  3. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop a piece of the truffle mixture into your hands, roll it into a ball and set it on the tray. Repeat until all the mix is gone, about 16 truffles depending on the size.
  4. Put the tray in the freezer for at least 10 minutes or until the truffles are more firm.
  5. Melt the chocolate chips in a small glass bowl in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir in the coconut oil until it reaches your desired thinness. If the chocolate is too thick, it will be tougher to coat the truffles.
  6. Remove the truffles from the freezer. Drop one truffle in the chocolate and use a fork to roll until completely covered, then scoop the truffles out (with the fork so that excess chocolate can run off) and return to the tray.
  7. Repeat until all of the truffles are covered.
  8. Use a spoon to drizzle the truffles with a thin layer of extra chocolate. Finish with a pinch of sea salt on top.
  9. Chill in the fridge or freezer until the chocolate is set.
