Mini Pumpkin Pie Cups
Mini Pumpkin Pie Cups – THE BEST Christmas treat to prepare! They are vegan, gluten-free, and paleo-friendly, but I guarantee no one will ever suspect they are healthier.
I adore this recipe since it is so simple to make while yet looking elegant and is a lot of fun to bring to a holiday party.
Because they increase the amount of nutritious good fat, fiber, and nutrients in the recipe, I adore incorporating almond and coconut flour. Fat and fiber are crucial for maintaining stable blood sugar levels!
Since these taste like a delicious dessert but are actually very healthful and full, I also adore adding cashew butter.
These Mini Pumpkin Pie Cups are fantastic right out of the freezer, but for a more “traditional” pumpkin pie texture, you can also let them defrost on the counter for an hour or two.
