Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking tray with wax or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Make Filling: In a bowl, combine pumpkin purée, homemade pumpkin spice, salt, and liquid stevia. Stir until blended and gradually add oat flour to achieve a thick dough.
  3. Shape Truffles: Roll small portions of the dough into balls, about tablespoon size.
  4. Melt Chocolate: Heat dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals until smooth.
  5. Coat Truffles: Dip each pumpkin ball into the melted chocolate and allow excess to drip off.
  6. Finish: Sprinkle the coated truffles with flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets.
  7. Set Truffles: Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until chocolate hardens.
