- ¼ cup (60 mL) honey or maple syrup
- ¼ cup (30 g) ground flaxseed
- 1–2 tsps pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
- ½ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Warm the oven to 350°F (180°C) and layer a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal non-stick performance.
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Blend rolled oats, quick oats, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, ground flaxseed, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt in a large mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution of all components.
- Wet Ingredient Integration: Whisk pumpkin puree, eggs, coconut oil, and honey or maple syrup into the dry mixture, stirring until a consistent, well-incorporated batter forms.
- Portioning and Shaping: Scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, creating uniform mounds and gently pressing each to slightly flatten while maintaining their original structure.
- Baking Process: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, watching for a subtle golden-brown edge as the indicator of perfect doneness.
- Cooling and Storage: Allow the breakfast bites to cool completely on the baking sheet, then transfer to an airtight container to preserve their texture and freshness.
Notes
- Prep Like a Pro: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better texture binding.
