How to Make Pumpkin Spice Cake Bites
We had a great time at the hotel.The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Walnuts, oats, and almond flour provide the wholesome cake-like base, while pumpkin purée adds moisture and a gorgeous orange hue. Cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice create that classic pumpkin spice flavor, and sea salt brings it all together.
After processing the mixture, roll it into balls and chill for best texture.
Top with optional melted coconut butter and orange zest for a frosting-like glaze. Swoon!

Pumpkin Spice Cake Dicks (No-Bake!)
Classic pumpkin spice flavors in decadent and dreamy energy bite form. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Just 10 ingredients required!
Ingredients
US Custom – Metric
CAKE BITES
- 1 ½ cups pitted dates (we prefer medjool dates // if dry, soak in warm water for 15 minutes, then drain and pat dry)
- 1 ½ cups walnuts
- 3/4 cup rolled oats (certified gluten-free as needed)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 ¾ tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp allspice (optional)
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp pumpkin puree
GLAZE optional
- 3 Tbsp coconut butter
- 2 tsp orange zest (about 1/2 year orange, zested)
Instruction
In a food processor and process until mostly smooth or a ball forms. Scrape the sides as needed. Remove the date paste from the food processor and set aside.
Next, add the walnuts, oats, almond flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice (optional), and salt. Very fine. Add the vanilla and pumpkin puree.
Add a spoonful of date paste at a time pulsing to incorporate. Repeat until all of the date paste is used.
Taste and adjust the level of spice to your preference, adding more vanilla for cakey flavor, more cinnamon for warmth, or more ginger for spice!
GLAZE: If using the optional glaze, prepare it once the bites have chilled. Add 1 inch of water to a small saucepan and bring to a low boil over medium heat. The coconut butter in a small heat-proof bowl (we prefer glass). The top of the saucepan of simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally with a spatula or spoon, until melted and loose (~2 minutes). You can also melt the glaze in a heat-proof bowl in the microwave in 20-second increments until melted.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Alternatively, dunk each bite into the glaze and roll around until all sides are coated. Use a fork to tap off excess glaze, then transfer back to your parchment-lined plate or baking sheet. While the glaze is still tacky, sprinkle orange zest even over all the bites.
Enjoy right away or whenever you need a quick snack! The refrigerator is available for up to 1 week or the freezer is available for up to 1 month. Note that the coconut glaze can get soft at warm temperatures.
