If you like the Pumpkin Pie Perfect Bar flavor, you will love these little pumpkin spice cookie dough bites. I came up with these after I ran out of a box and I must say, I find them to be pretty darn satisfying.

They aren’t loaded with veggie powders like my muse is, but they are ridiculously easy to make and require very few ingredients – a double win in my book (and hopefully yours too).

Servings 20 bites

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup all-natural creamy peanut butter, nothing added
  • 1/4 cup raw honey or brown rice syrup
  • 2/3 cup oat flour <– homemade version
  • 1 TBSP pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 TBSP coconut flour
  • flaked sea salt, optional but highly recommend

Instructions

  • Line medium cookie sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In medium bowl stir together peanut butter and honey until smooth. Add oat flour and pumpkin spice, stirring until just about combined, then add in coconut flour and work into dough until coconut flour is absorbed. Dough will be soft but still hold its shape.
  • Using small cookie scoop, scoop dough flat into cookie scoop and dispense dough onto lined baking sheet. You should get about 20 cookie dough bites. Top with pinch of flaked sea salt and transfer to freezer to chill for 15 minutes to harden.
  • Pumpkin Spice Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites can be stored in freezer or fridge for a softer (but still slightly firm) texture.
★ Last step! If you make this, please leave a review letting us know how it was!

Recipe Notes:

Nut butter of choice may be subbed, such as almond butter or cashew butter, or a blend. If using a homemade nut butter that is a little thicker, add a little melted coconut oil to help the cookie dough come together and not dry out.

You can probably use maple syrup but I haven’t tried that myself.

      Hi Anna, Without being there and knowing the exact ingredients it’s hard to say for sure. You didn’t bake these by chance, did you? These are meant to be cookie *dough* bites, not baked cookies.
      If you followed the directions exact it could be that your peanut butter wasn’t mixed well enough. Natural peanut butter, once stirred, should be a little drippier than traditional (i.e. JIF or Skippy). If you accidentally added even just a little extra coconut flour, it will dry out the dough. Hopefully that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.

    These give me life. Made the recipe exactly as written and it’s so hard not to eat five at once!

    Could you use maple syrup instead??

      I didn’t test that version myself but because the quantity is on the smaller side, that should be fine! if the mixture seems dry, add a very tiny splash of non-dairy milk or water.

    Wow, it’s been quite a LOOOOOOONG time since I’ve enjoyed peanut butter. I genuinely miss it. The last time I had peanut butter was on top of an Oreo and it was the Skippy’s creamy kind. Definitely does NOT have the same ring to it as a natural crunchy peanut butter like Laura Scudder’s or those of Trader Joe’s! That being said, I will definitely have to get my hands on a peanut butter jar and make some peanut butter cookie dough! It would be seriously dangerous for me to make this recipe with maple syrup or brown rice syrup because I’d eat the whole batch!

    Do you have an approximate calorie count for one of the balls?

      I don’t at the moment but if you plug the URL into myfitnesspal.com it will give you some info. That is how I calculate the nutrition information myself when doing it. I got away from it because I really encourage my readers to look beyond the label, but I understand when it is helpful as well 🙂
