Ingredients

  • ½ cup oats.
  • 1 ½ cup blanched almonds.
  • 10-12 dates chopped.
  • ¾ cup cooked pumpkin cooked.
  • 1 cup thick caramel store bought or homemade.
  • 2 cups of chocolate chips.
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter for wiping your hands.
  • Sea salt **

Instructions

  • Start by processing almonds and oats in your food processor until it is almost a powder.
  • Add cinnamon and pumpkin then process again.
  • Add the chopped dates and process again until it forms a sticky dough.
  • Oil your hands with coconut oil or butter then scoop a ball of the dough and press into a muffin tin, making a well in the center of each, bake in a 350 preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until crust started to be brown around the edges.
  • Meanwhile melt the chocolate either by using a double broiler or in the microwave, whatever is easier for you.
  • Add about 1 Tablespoon of caramel into each cup.
  • Then top with chocolate, sprinkle with sea salt and refrigerate until firm.

Notes

* You can use pumpkin puree as well, about ⅓ cup.
** Sea salt is optional, but it goes very well with caramel.
