Ingredients
  

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond flour (or any preferred flour)

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing

Instructions
 

In a spacious mixing bowl, blend the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are completely combined.

    Incorporate the rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt into the mixture. Stir well until everything is merged to create a thick batter.

      If desired, gently fold in the chocolate chips.

        Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for approximately 5 minutes.

          Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray or use a brush to apply a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.

            Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the pumpkin mixture into bite-sized balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter) and place them in the air fryer basket, ensuring there is space between each ball.

              Fry the pumpkin spice bites in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, turning them over halfway through, until they achieve a golden brown and crispy texture.

                After cooking, gently take out the bites from the air fryer and allow them to cool for a few moments prior to serving.
