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 you’re on the hunt for a sweet treat today… I’ve got some balls for you.
I’m not going to pretend that these are candy.
They’re not.
But they’re 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 you’re 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 time we take a trip.
Homemade Pumpkin Pie Larabar Balls
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 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.

Hope you have a happy halloween.
YUM! Easy AND pretty! Happy Halloween
Does Larabar make a pumpkin pie flavor!??! If not, you better pitch this to them!
They do! I think it’s seasonal though.
I love it, Brittany!!! These are a must! Yum 🙂 And yes, I do have all those ingredients already, so no excuses 😉
These look great! I love Lara bars, but I know I’ll love these even more 🙂
Simple and perfect! This really fulfills my need to put pumpkin and/or pumpkin spice into everything I eat these days.
These look great!
Now this is my type of healthy recipe – hardly any ingredients. Yummy! Happy Halloween to you:)
I just made these. I’m looking forward to eating them as a snack!
Those 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.
