How to Prepare Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

For the Crust: Pour oats into a blender or food processor and blend until you get oat flour. Add the almond flour, almond meal, maple syrup, and water, and blend until evenly combined. Press onto the bottom of a dish lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer to firm up while you prepare the cheesecake layer.
For the Cheesecake: Rinse and drain the soaked cashews and throw them into the blender with the melted cacao butter or melted coconut oil and the rest of the ingredients. Blend until completely smooth and pour on top of the crust. Return to the freezer and let it set for 2-3 hours until firm.
To Serve: Remove cheesecake from the dish, cut into squares, and enjoy! Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze it for long-term storage and thaw for about 30 minutes before serving.
