It's the time of the year where you get the urge to eat pumpkin everything! This weekend I made a healthy and delicious pumpkin treat to satisfy the craving and give me an energy boost. This recipe is easy to make and you can freeze half for later to make it last even longer. These energy bites are a great healthy snack to have around or to take with you to work.
