Almond Flour Pumpkin Cake Balls
Description
The cake balls combine pumpkin puree with ground cinnamon, allspice, and kosher salt for balanced spice and flavor, sweetened with maple syrup. Almond flour provides a moist, grainy base that binds the ingredients without traditional flour. The batter maintains a consistently wet, sticky texture, making it easy to form into uniform balls by hand or using a cookie scooper.
Enjoy these pumpkin-flavored bites cold or at room temperature as they hold their shape well and offer pumpkin's natural moisture and almond flour's richness. They suit seasonal snack needs without baking.
For variation, coat the balls in hemp seeds, oats, or dip them in chocolate to add texture or a firmer outer layer. The moist batter can be refrigerated overnight without significant texture change.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup use sugar-free maple syrup for keto
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp allspice or pumpkin spice
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 2 ½ cups almond flour blanched
- ⅔ cup white chocolate chips use dairy-free, or sugar-free accordingly, or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- With a large mixing bowl and your handy whisk, add into the bowl the pumpkin puree, sticky sweetener of choice, cinnamon, allspice, kosher salt, and whisk until all of the ingredients are well incorporated.
- When ready, add in the almond flour. Now, ditch your whisk and use a spatula to fold and mix. It will take about a minute until all of the ingredients are fully incorporated. The batter will be wet and moist and will always be in that consistency (see notes).
- Grab the mixture with a tablespoon and form each glob into balls with your palms. Using a small cookie scooper will ensure each ball will be the same size every time.
- Enjoy immediately or store in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- The mixture will stay moist and sticky even after refrigeration; this is expected for the texture.
- To create a firmer or coated exterior, try dipping the balls in melted chocolate or rolling them in hemp seeds or oats.
- Use a small cookie scooper for evenly sized balls, ensuring consistent portions.
