No-Bake Pumpkin Oatmeal Raisin Bites

October 23, 2014 · 2 Comments

IMG_5577Creating a no-bake pumpkin recipe that was easy enough to teach pre-schoolers, and still tasted yummy while following food restrictions become somewhat of a challenge. I wanted to make a treat the kids would have fun making themselves, while learning how healthy foods can be just as delicious. Creating this recipe made me feel like goldy locks trying to find just the right bed or bowl of porridge. The first recipe was too firm, dry and oat-y, and needed an extra dash of sugar and spice. The second recipe was too soft to even form into balls, even after refrigerating, but the flavor was just right. The third and final recipe was the winner. It was able to hold its shape like the first recipe, but had the sweetness and moistness of the second batch. IMG_5582These perfectly simple bites taste just like pumpkin cookie batter or spoonfuls of pumpkin pie with velvety filing and flaky crust, but are vegan, gluten and nut free. Although they would be just as delicious with nuts, seeds, flax or other dried fruit of your choice. The best part, they’re easy enough for the young ones to prepare and enjoy. As treaters count their Kit Kats and Almond Joys, these pumpkin oatmeal raisin bites will be a treat I won’t feel guilty about snacking on Halloween, and one the kids will enjoy just as much. IMG_5530 IMG_5583 IMG_5598 IMG_5600 IMG_5603

No-Bake Pumpkin Oatmeal Raisin Bites

Ingredients {Makes about 20}

2 cups – Rolled Oats {gluten-free, not instant}

1/2 cup – Raisins {or cranberries}

1/2 cup – Mini Chocolate Chips {optional}

2 teaspoons – Pumpkin Pie Spice

1 teaspoon – Baking Powder

1/2 teaspoon – Salt

1 cup – Canned Pumpkin

1/4 to 1/2 cup – Pure Maple Syrup {use organic if possible, not one with processed sugars – or replace with Honey}

2 teaspoons – Pure Vanilla Extract

Recipe

Place a piece of parchment onto a rimmed baking sheet, set aside. Combine the oats, raisins, salt, pumping pie spice, baking powder and chocolate chips, if using, into a bowl. Add in the pumpkin puree and vanilla, stir until combined. Then slowly add in the maple syrup until everything comes together, if you don’t need to use all of the maple syrup then don’t. Refrigerate at least 20 minutes, if time permits.

Scoop about one tablespoon of dough, roll into balls, and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Enjoy right away, or refrigerate until firm {about 30 minutes}. Keep in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. Travel is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨

Adeus 2020... It‘ll be impossible to forget you, Adeus 2020...
It‘ll be impossible to forget you, you broke us, but you also reminded us how we resilient we are. Your chapter is closed, good riddance!!

Ironically my word for 2020 was “Bliss” yet despite all the grief, the heartbreak + emotional rollercoaster I think all of us, although at times hard, did see the silver linings this past year brought. Personally, I realized early on the immense amount of Bliss that was already present in my life, perhaps more so if this year wasn’t what it was.

No, there weren’t Big Blissful moments or travels, but there was so many moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of every day. More time in the garden, a newfound excitement in the kitchen, endless cloud gazing — birdsong listening — butterfly + dragonfly catching — soothing sunsets + always stopping to smell the roses moments. Blissful moments to create whatever it was I felt like doing, moments to appreciate what truly matters in life + what of that is what always needs to be present in life. The chance to escape in the safety of nature + loved ones. The blissful opportunity to rest, to mentally wander, to learn what stillness really is. 

I gave myself grace this year & a well deserved pat on the back, & I really hope you did the same!! As I sail into 2021 I remember just how important all these moments are for growth + Expansion…

Things won’t change right away but all I can wish for all of us in 2021 is abundance, health, unity, joy & Love🤍🤍
Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merr Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merry Christmas🤍❄️ this year certainly doesn’t feel the same, we’re not gathering w. our loved ones, in fact for many this holiday season has been even more stress inducing than other years. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be magical & wonderful & beautiful whether you’re with your kids, your parents or spending it alone. Don’t forget to make it special & honor your favorite traditions, even if just for yourself!!

May these final days of the year be calm, be love & may brighter days shine upon us all next year✨🌿
