Healthy Pumpkin Truffles
These creamy, no-bake pumpkin truffles are rich in flavor, easy to make, and taste like pumpkin pie dipped in dark chocolate. Perfect for cozy autumn treats or gifting.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Microwave-safe bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Forks or dipping tools
Ingredients
Filling
- 1/2 cup pumpkin purée not pumpkin pie mix
- 1 1/4 tsp pumpkin spice homemade or store-bought
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp liquid stevia or sweetener of choice
- 3/4 cup oat flour lightly spooned for accuracy
Coating
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chopped from a bar, not chips
- flaky sea salt optional, for topping
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for the truffles.
- In a bowl, mix pumpkin purée, pumpkin spice, salt, and stevia until smooth. Stir in oat flour until a soft dough forms.
- Rub oil on your hands to prevent sticking. Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared tray (about 24 truffles).
- Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl: heat for 30 seconds, stir, then continue in 10-second bursts until smooth.
- Dip each truffle in melted chocolate using two forks. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing back on the tray.
- Sprinkle with flaky salt (if using) while chocolate is still tacky. Chill in freezer for 5–10 minutes or fridge for 15–20 until set.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality dark chocolate and real pumpkin purée. Truffles keep well chilled or frozen.
