Get in your daily collagen with these two layer, fudgy pumpkin collagen bites. These collagen bites are no bake and high in protein — a double win in my book.
I shared these easy fudgy collagen bites over on Instagram… and the crowd went wild! But for real, this was a fan favorite so I knew I needed to add it the recipe to my blog. if you’re like me, your bookmarked Instagram posts get a littttle overwhelming and disorganized so it helpful to have a blog post version of the recipe as well.
I’ve been taking collagen peptides daily and to be honest, it’s one of the only supplements that I’ve been able to stay pretty consistent with… mainly because it’s tasteless and I can add it to just about anything. I typically add it to my morning cup of coffee and I’m happy to report that I’ve seen a TON of great benefits, the most noticeable being my skin looking extra healthy and my hair and nails grow super fast. I was inspired to make a new recipe using collagen peptides because I wanted something a little more versatile than my 2-ingredient protein coffee and I know some of you don’t drink coffee.
Are you curious about collagen? I already wrote a blog post about what collagen is, which brands I recommend and some of the most common questions I see around collagen so definteily check that out if you’re new to collagen.
Now let me introduce you to my new favorite way to get my daily dose of collagen in. There are two layers: pumpkin and chocolate. I mean, does it get any better than that?! These are soooo simple to make and require zero baking. I know pumpkin is more of a fall flavor but I can already see myself enjoying these year round.
If you try these fudgy pumpkin collagen bites be sure to leave a comment and star rating letting me know how it turns out. Your feedback is super helpful for me and other EBF readers who are planning to try the recipe.
Two layer, fudgy pumpkin collegen bites that you better believe I’ll be making year round. These bites are no bake and high in protein — a double win in my book.
Scale
Ingredients
Pumpkin layer:
1/4 cup nut butter (I used crunchy peanut butter)
1 Tablespoon canned pumpkin
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 Tablespoon melted coconut oil
3 scoops collagen peptides
3 Tablespoons coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
pinch of cinnamon
1 Tablespoon mini chocolate chips
Chocolate layer:
2 Tablespoons melted coconut oil
1 1/2 Tablespoons nut butter
1/2 Tablespoon cocoa/cacao powder
1–2 teaspoon maple syrup
Instructions
Grab two bowls, mix the pumpkin mixture in one and the chocolate mixture in another. Scoop pumpkin mixture into the cavities of a silicon ice cube tray, filling each about halfway and press mixture down.
Pour a thin layer of chocolate on top of each until all are covered, then go back and add more chocolate to each until you run out.
Place tray in the fridge to harden for 20-30 minutes and enjoy. Store leftovers in the fridge and eat 1-2 bites a day. Makes 6-8 bites.
Good question. 3 scoops of the Further Food collagen (which is what I used) is 24 grams. For measuring, I’d recommend using a food scale or you can covert the Great Lakes Collagen powder serving size to figure out how much to use. I hope this is helpful.
Update — Just checked it looks like the Great Lakes collagen is 12g for 2 rounded Tablespoons so I’d use 4 Tablespoons. ?
These look delicious! I’m 39 weeks pregnant and taking collagen to fight off stretch marks, so I’ll have to whip these up! Much more interesting than stirring the collagen into my morning oatmeal! 🙂

I’d like to use Great Lakes Collagen powder. How much would I use? Your recipe refers to scoops of peptides, not sure of the conversion.
