“I am the biggest douche bag. I just went to Starbucks and bought a pumpkin spice latte so I can make some no bake bites which tastes exactly like it. The drink legit is like sugar in a cup.

1 cup coconut flour, 4 cups sugar, 1 tsp pumpkin. Boom”

“Legit and some whole milk.”

“Lol! I tried to be healthy and got almond milk and it’s still feverish.”

If you don’t believe that is how the conversation went down, ask Alexis to take a screenshot from her phone. I literally went to Starbucks, bought the seasonal latte and gave myself a sugar coma. I also made these healthy no-bake pumpkin spice latte bites taste like the real deal.

See the things I do for the blog?

Just kidding I would have ordered one of those drinks anyway because I’m a sheep.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

I guess part of the reason I was so keen to try this beverage was the intense hype surrounding it. Last year, I remember Instagram and social media blowing up with the number of people going crazy over this seasonal drink. As with anything that gets hyped up, it can often lead to disappointment or in my case, the onset of a sugar hangover.

Was the drink delicious? You bet…..But only after one sip.

Are these no-bake bites delicious? You bet….and NOT only after one bite.

These Healthy No Bake Pumpkin Spice Latté Bites are what you want a pumpkin spice latté to taste like- Sweet, satisfying and bonus points if they are healthy too! They are soft, doughy and remind me of a pumpkin spiced cake in terms of texture! They literally take five minutes to whip up and are the perfect seasonally appropriate snack or healthy dessert to have on hand. Not only are these bites healthy, they are also suitable for those following a vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free diet. For my paleo friends, take note of the necessary adjustments to make them compliant.

My favorite way to eat these are straight from the fridge or even better, the freezer- Simply thaw for about 10 minutes and biting into it is like…..Well, make them and you’ll see.

Make these Healthy No Bake Pumpkin Spice Latté Bites and save yourself money, reputation and a trip to the ER for a sugar high.
