Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Baking Tray: Line a baking tray with wax or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Filling: Combine pumpkin purée, homemade pumpkin spice, salt, and liquid stevia in a bowl. Mix thoroughly, fold in oat flour until cohesive.
  3. Form the Truffles: Lightly oil hands, scoop mixture, and roll into bite-sized spheres. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Melt the Chocolate: Break dark chocolate into pieces, microwave at 30-second intervals until melted and smooth.
  5. Coat the Truffles: Dip each truffle in melted chocolate, allow excess to drip off, and place back on the baking sheet.
  6. Finish with Sea Salt: Sprinkle flaky sea salt over each truffle while chocolate is still wet.
  7. Hardening Phase: Refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes until chocolate is set.
