Description

These No Bake Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Bites are the perfect fall dessert or snack. A creamy cottage cheese and pumpkin cheesecake center is rolled in hearty oats and coated in crunchy granola. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup and flavored with cinnamon and vanilla, these protein-packed bites are perfect for meal prep, game day, holiday trays, or whenever you need a cozy no-bake treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup cottage cheese, blended smooth
  • ⅓ cup pumpkin purée
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup quick oats
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips or chopped pecans (optional)
  • ½ cup granola, lightly crushed, for coating

Instructions

  1. Blend cottage cheese until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. In a bowl, mix the blended cottage cheese with pumpkin purée, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Fold in the oats and optional mini chocolate chips or chopped pecans until fully incorporated.
  4. Refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes to help it firm up.
  5. Scoop 1-tablespoon portions and roll into smooth balls.
  6. Roll each ball in the crushed granola until coated.
  7. Place on a lined tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
  8. Optional: Dust with extra cinnamon before serving.

Notes

  • Use a food processor or high-speed blender for the smoothest cottage cheese texture.
  • Chilling the dough before rolling helps prevent sticking.
  • Choose a soft granola to ensure it adheres easily to the bites.
  • These bites freeze well and thaw quickly at room temperature.
  • Customize with your favorite mix-ins like chia seeds or dried cranberries.
