The first thing you need to do is preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Sometimes it takes awhile to heat up, so it's best to do it first. Then, mix 1 cup of flour, with 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp of baking soda. Add ¾ tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice and set aside.

Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix well until combined. Make sure you get all the flour at the bottom and on the sides. The batter should be thick so don’t add any water.

Once the cake is baked, crumble it a little bit with your hands then add ¼ cup of icing and crumble it some more. When you think you’ve got the right consistency, shape them into medium sized balls.

Melt chocolate with a little bit of coconut oil. You can add food coloring and sprinkles. It’s up to you. I made mine look like a pumpkin with orange food coloring and a regular chocolate chip on top. But you can do whatever you want.
