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.

  1. Set the cupcake liners aside and preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. Mix all of the ingredients for the crust in a small bowl. Roll about 1 tablespoon per cupcake liner into balls. Place each ball in the cupcake liner with pressure.
