Ingredients

• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup oat flour (certified gluten-free)

Here are some ways to store your gluten-free pumpkin bites to keep them fresh and delicious:

1. Airtight Container: Place the pumpkin bites in an airtight container with a secure lid. Make sure the container is appropriately sized to prevent excess air exposure, which can lead to moisture loss.
2. Refrigerator: Store the airtight container in the refrigerator to extend the shelf life of your pumpkin bites. They will stay fresh for up to 4-5 days when refrigerated.
3. Freezer: If you want to store them for an extended period, you can freeze the pumpkin bites. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. They can be frozen for up to 2-3 months.
4. Individually Wrap: For a grab-and-go option, you can individually wrap each pumpkin bite in plastic wrap or parchment paper before placing them in an airtight container or freezer bag. This makes it easy to take out just what you need without thawing the whole batch.
5. Vacuum Sealing: If you have a vacuum sealer, use it to remove air from the storage bag, ensuring an airtight seal. This method helps prevent freezer burn and preserves the freshness of the pumpkin bites.
6. Label and Date: Don’t forget to label the container or bag with the date of preparation. This will help you keep track of their freshness and make sure you consume them before they lose their quality.
7. Thawing: When you’re ready to enjoy your frozen pumpkin bites, simply take them out of the freezer and let them thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. They can also be reheated in the oven or microwave if desired.

By following these storage methods, you can enjoy your gluten and dairy-free pumpkin bites whenever you crave their delicious flavors, whether it’s a quick snack or a special treat.
