This past weekend my hubby and I ended an era.
An era of cubscout camping trips has come to an end. After 8 years of cubscouting with my oldest and our youngest, who is almost a boy scout in just a few short months, we had our final cubscout camping trip.
Kind of sad to think it's over, but ready for the youngest to join the oldest and his daddy in Boyscouts. And I'm ready to no longer be required to plan a weekly den meeting each Monday night. Of course the hubby has plans for me to particpate in parent meetings and committee meetings and help with Eagle project planning, but at least each Monday night starting in March I will be able to actually stay home. All of us will be able to stay home one night a week. And for that I am happy.
Life is busy and time is tight. I'm amazed at how many things actually need to get done in order to fully function and participate in all we do as moms. I am secretly thrilled for one less obligation, if you know what I mean.
When I think of treats, I would kind of like to skip baking if I could. I like quick and easy and no bake recipes rock my world.
Pumpkin Cookie Dough
These are festive, kid approved and easy enough for them to actually make themselves for when friends come over. I mean who doesn't love a yummy cookie dough right? If you're not a fan of pumpkin try these Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites.
Learning to get my kids more involved in the kitchen this past year has truly helped my sanity and taken some chores off my everyday To-Do list. Snacks was always an issue. With a growing 15 year old son, a 12 year old daughter and 9 year old son, I could barely keep up with the eating demands around here. This recipe works to fill those needs without my help. 🙂
I don't know what you need to get off your plate as far as chores, routines, recipes, etc, but I do know this recipe won't be a difficult one to add to your list for easy snacks for the family or feeding a crowd of hungry teenagers in your kitchen.

Notes
- This recipe was first published in October of 2015 and updated in November 2018 with video.
- Nutritional Information does not include chocolate chips which is optional.
- I have tried this recipe using all coconut flour, but we felt the coconut flour overpowered the flavor of the pumpkin.
- I have not tried this with almond flour as my youngest has a tree nut allergy but I would expect it to be fine with a mild flavor and would not overpower the pumpkin flavor.
- If you don't like stevia, use a favorite sweetener of choice, just use a small amount and taste and adjust as needed.

Thx for ur awwsome recipes!
Debbie Pennick
Do you have a good conversion for erythritol sweetner or swerve for the stevia in your recipes?
Jos
Would it be possible if your recipe also using the measurement in weight (gram?)
Thanks!
Brenda
Under the recipe there is an option to use US or Metric, click metric and it will change to grams for you.

I can't find coconut butter...an suggestions?
Victoria
What can I use to replace the pumpkin puree? I hate it, I can't digest it and I get severe hives if I do. Bananas are not an option, any beans (like black or chickpeas) are not an option and avocados are hard to get where I live in the UK. Any ideas?
Brenda
I would think you might need to skip this recipe all together and try another. If you don't need it low carb you can try this one with gluten free flour, https://www.sugarfreemom.com/recipes/chocolate-chip-cookie-dough-truffles-gluten-free-refined-sugar-free/
Brenda
Another suggestion might be sweet potato puree or butternut squash puree.
Danielle
If I use all-purpose flour as a substitute for both of the flours, will that be fine?
Brenda
I've not tried it so I can't say for sure but I would imagine it might be ok. Although I've never tried raw all purpose flour either when it's not been baked or cooked with.
Viv
Would sesame seed butter work to replace coconut butter?
Brenda
I suppose so if you like the flavor of sesame.
Rachel
Does anyone have suggestions for softening the coconut butter? My jar of coconut butter has been sitting out on my counter for several days but it is still extremely hard and difficult to scoop out of the jar. I am guessing it would be extremely difficult to cream the ingredients together in the mixer when the coconut butter is this hard.
Brenda
I microwave the jar for 30 seconds then stir it

I admire you for doing so much for your children, Mine are grown and pretty much gone now, but made sure they were involved in lots of things by being involved also. Plus I made sure that EVERY Saturday was Family Day, where we would go to someplace new and special, Zoos and festivals when they we small and Museums, gardens and exhibits when they we older. Mine still ask me to go to a special exhibit or gallery with them if something new is in town. One is a scientist and one is an artist... I think I did a dandy job and so are you!
Oh and thanks for the great recipes which is making it easier for my hubby and I to stay low carb!

Ahhh these are the perfect little bites! They will satisfy my sweet tooth without having to feel guilty!
Sarah
Question- I only have regular butter and regular stevia drops. Think it will still be good?
Brenda
Regular butter is fine as well as the plain stevia, might want to add some extra vanilla extract, but taste it before you do to see if you need it.

These bites looks like the perfect Fall treat! I especially love that they're no bake 😉
