Pumpkin “Pie” Puff Bites

If fall had a flavor, this would be it. These Pumpkin “Pie” Puff Bites give you all the cozy flavor of pumpkin pie - without the sugar, crust, or mess. They’re soft, spiced, naturally sweet, and perfect for little ones learning to self-feed.

Made with simple ingredients (including our Peanut Butter Nutty Puffs) and ready in under 15 minutes, they make a great snack, lunchbox add-in, or toddler-safe “dessert” that parents can feel good about.

🍁 Why We Love These Pumpkin Pie Bites

• No added sugar but still taste like a treat

• Soft and safe for new eaters and toddlers

• One bowl, 5 ingredients - easy for busy parents

• Freezer-friendly for batch-prep moms and dads

Plus, the texture is chef’s kiss: tender, slightly chewy, and perfect for tiny hands.

Good for Toddlers (and Babies, With Modifications!)

These bites are naturally soft and can be made even gentler for early feeders:

• Bake on the shorter side for extra softness

• Shape into flat patties instead of thick muffins

• Crumble into yogurt or oatmeal 

Always follow your baby’s specific readiness cues.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup pumpkin purée

• 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon)

• 1/4 cup Peanut Butter Nutty Puffs, finely crushed

• 2 tbsp oat flour or whole wheat flour

• 1 egg or 2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce (for egg-free)

• Optional: mini silicone muffin liners

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a bowl, mix all ingredients into a thick batter.

3. Spoon into mini muffin cups or shape into small soft patties on a parchment-lined tray.

4. Bake 10–12 minutes, until set but still soft.

5. Cool completely before serving.

Pro-Tip:

Top each 'bite' with a Nutty Puff for extra crunch and peanut butter goodness.
