Pumpkin Pie Filled Chocolate Bombs

                                                   Pumpkin Pie Filled Chocolate Bombs

• 3/4 cup white-whole wheat flour
• 6 T plus 1 tsp cocoa powder
• scant 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 cup maple syrup 
• 2 T honey
• 2 T maple syrup  
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 3 T plus 2 tsp oil
• 3 T pureed pumpkin
• 3 T nut butter (I used almond)
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 T maple syrup
• 1/8 tsp pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 330 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Combine flour, cocoa, salt, baking soda, and 1/4 cup maple syrup and mix very well. Add honey, 2 T maple syrup, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, and oil and mix again to form dough. In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin, nut butter, cinnamon, 1/2 T maple syrup, and 1/8 tsp. vanilla to make the filling. Using about a heaping tablespoon of dough, roll into a ball and then flatten. Place about 1 tsp. of the filling in the center and fold up the sides of the dough. Form into a ball.  Don't worry if the sides crack, they don't need to be absolutely perfect.  Bake for 10 minutes, and then let them cool for 10 minutes.

enjoy!
