Are you pumkined out yet? Truth be told, I am not a huge pumpkin person, but these cookie balls are so good! They almost taste like cookie dough and they definitely take care of a sweet craving!
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
- 3/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sweetener (Maple Sugar would be awesome. I used Swerve for a low sugar alternative)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (optional, use almond flour as replacement)
- 1/4-1/2 tsp cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (use Enjoy Life for dairy free option)
Instructions:
- Combine the pumpkin, almond butter, sweetener, flour, protein powder, spice and salt
- Add in the coconut and chocolate chip, stir until combined
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
- Roll the dough into golf ball size balls and place them on the cookie sheet
- Place in the fridge to harden
- Store in a glass container in the fridge
Enjoy!
Favorite Fall Finds
I wanted to share a few of my favorite finds for fall. I am in love with Primal Palate's Organic Spices and have almost completely stocked my spice rack with them! Their blends are seriously the best and the Pumpkin and Apple Pie Spice blends are a must for this time of year. They also have a Gingersnap and Cinnamon Sugar Cookie blend that I cannot wait to try in recipes. I could eat the Sugar Cookie one with a spoon...I'm not kidding!! The best part is, they are available on Amazon Prime!!!
I have missed burning candles, but gave them up after learning how toxic most candles are. Everything from the wax to the wick and especially the fragrances are not good for us. I love my diffuser, but there is something about burning a candle and enjoying the glow of a candle in the winter time. I was recently introduced to Woodlot, a small apothecary out of Canada and am in love with their candles! I also love supporting small business owners! Their eco-friendly candles are free of petroleum, phthalates, synthetic fragrances and gmo's. They are made with coconut oil and non gmo soy wax, cotton core wicks and are scented with pure essential oils. I ordered three different candles, Cinder for fall with scents of cedarwood, cinnamon and orange, Wildwoods for Christmas with an evergreen, pine and clove scent and the Original. These will be the perfect hostess gift and they arrived just a few days after I ordered them!!
The cold air has finally moved into Colorado and that means my skin needs extra moisture. Beautycounter's Lustro Face Oil is my must have skincare product for everyday, but even more so in the winter months! The seven plant based oils are full of anti-oxidants and fatty acids that make your skin glow! Unlike synthetic oils, which can sit on the skin, these face oils absorb easily for ultimate hydration! I love the Soothing Oil and use it morning and night after cleansing and follow with a moisturizer. Beautycounter is my favorite brand for safe non toxic skincare and makeup. Give a Lusto Face Oil a try, you have 60 days to fall in love with it or return it for a full refund! I promise your skin will thank you!

XOXO,
If you are an Amazon shopper, would you be so kind to use my affiliate link to make your purchases. It is at no cost to you, it does provide a tiny kickback to Kate’s Healthy Cupboard. This allows me to continue making and testing recipes for free. Thanks so much!!
*I have recently switched all of my skincare and makeup to a company that is free of 1,500 chemicals!! I am so particular about what goes into my body, I need to be just as picky as to what goes on my body! Your skin is your largest organ and absorbs chemicals into the bloodstream faster than the gut does! I am vain when it comes to my skin and was so thrilled to find products that are anti-aging and work!!! Check out BeautyCounter for more info!! You will love it!!
