Homemade pumpkin spice larabar balls with only 5 ingredients. These make a great vegan and gluten-free portable snack!
Trick or treat.
Just in case youāre on the hunt for a sweet treat todayā¦ Iāve got some balls for you.
Iām not going to pretend that these are candy.
Theyāre not.
But theyāre sweet (without any refined sugar) and they’re pumpkin pie flavored! Plus, they only take about 5 minutes to make and require only 5 ingredients, which you probably already have sitting in your pantry.
So if youāre craving something sugary, I highly recommend making these as a Halloween treat. They’re a great pre or post workout snack option and awesome for traveling. I’m definitely going to make another batch the next timeĀ we take a trip.

PinDescription
Made with only 5 simple ingredients. These make a great vegan and gluten-free portable snack!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (about 14) pitted medjool dates (I used Natural Delights)
- 1/2 cup raw walnuts
- 1/4 cup blanched almond slices
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a food processor (affiliate link) and process until the mixture is finely chopped and sticky.
- Roll into balls and enjoy. My batch made 12 balls — minus a few bites I stole from the batter.
- Place any leftover balls into a storage container. Balls can be kept at room temperature, but I recommend storing them in the fridge for best results.

November 1, 2014 at 12:50 pmThose look delicious and easy to make. However, I did laugh at the ingredient list after you’d said that they were probably already sitting in my pantry. Maybe I need to work on my pantry stock, but I would definitely have to go to the grocery store.
