Glazed Pumpkin Balls

Hi All! 

This week has been kind of wonky. I had yesterday off of work so I did lots of recipe testing. Unfortunately one of the recipes I tried to make came out all sorts of messed up. And I just didn’t have the time to keep trying. So I came up with a different recipe to post later this week instead of the goof up. Goof ups are definitely normal when recipe testing, I mean heck, I’m making up a recipe. It can just be frustrating when I don’t have the time to remake. Luckily these Glazed Pumpkin Balls came out INCREDIBLE! I am excited to eat them when I get home from work. Oh and of course I’m excited to share the recipe with all of you! :)

Ok so these Glazed Pumpkin Balls seriously taste like doughnut holes. I almost named them uncooked doughnut holes, but I’m weird about that. It’s just such a pet peeve of mine when I buy raw foods named like, “strawberry caramel doughnut ice cream ball” and then I bite into it and it literally just tastes like a ball of crushed nuts and seeds. Like, why’d you get my hopes so high? Just tell me what I’m eating so I know what I should expect! So I will tell you these taste a lot like doughnut holes but of course the texture is different! However, the texture is really amazing too! It’s actually very soft, even when you store them in the freezer.

And no these can not be classified as raw since a lot of the ingredients are cooked (pumpkin puree, sunbutter, etc..). But if you sort of kind of follow the raw diet and just prefer food that’s not baked, these will be right up your alley! Or if you just want tasty food that you can pop in your mouth on the go, these are up your alley too!

By the way I am using The Real Pantry’s Pumpkin Pie Spice again and it is incredible! All spices are not created equal. This has such a strong and fragrant flavor. I seriously feel like I’m biting into Fall whenever I use it.
