Healthy Mini Pumpkin Pies are perfect for breakfast, a light snack, or a healthy dessert. My pies have the same texture and flavor as traditional pumpkin pie.
I got home this afternoon from a weekend in Iowa. We spent time with family and celebrated my cousin’s wedding at Prairie Moon Winery in Ames. Even though summer is drawing to a close and it’s still almost 90 degrees outdoors tonight {yikes}, I couldn’t wait any longer to share my first pumpkin recipe of the year.
A few weeks ago, Illinois declared pumpkin pie as the official state pie. Illinois produces most of the pumpkin consumed in the U.S. {close to 85%}. To celebrate I created a healthier version of pumpkin pie as my first fall recipe this year. My Healthy Mini Pumpkin Pies are gluten free, dairy free, and are sweetened with pure maple syrup.
I baked these mini pies in a muffin tin and the texture turned out exactly like traditional pumpkin pie. My pies would be delicious topped with vegan whipped cream for dessert. Gimme Some Oven’s recipe for Coconut Whipped Cream looks insanely good!

TO – MAKE.. Yes!! These are on that list! 😀
Oh, my word! I love pumpkin pie – seriously, it's a weakness. This sounds phenomenal – and I'm intrigued by the cashew milk….
I think if they're mini, you can eat more.. which is ALWAYS a good thing. These look DIVINE! 🙂
I would celebrate too! What a fabulous treat to celebrate with!
And they're crustless? Awesome!
I had no idea that Illinois produced so many pumpkins! These look delicious because I love pumpkin pie 🙂
I am very curious about these little tasty treats. The Hubby love pumpkin pie, but we're staying away from crusts. That meaning wheat. I'm not a baker, so I'm not so crazy about creating a GF crust. May have to break down but in the meantime, these may fill the bill. 🙂
I love the idea of mini pumpkin treats! They look fantastic!
Dear Celia, I love your healthier version of pumpkin pie. A perfect way to celebrate …these would be a hit with the family for the holidays. I love mini treats. xo, Catherine
I love that you used maple syrup to sweeten these!
I adore finding new healthy pumpkin treats and your mini pies look so yummy!
