Healthy Vegan Mini Pumpkin Pies

oh happy day!!! Healthy Vegan Mini Pumpkin Pies are here. they’re healthy, packed with fall flavors and easy to create. i didn’t use any cornstarch or arrowroot, so the pumpkin filling is nice and creamy + soft. it’s just pumpkin bliss! if you’re looking the filling to be a bit firmer, you can always add a little bit of either of the aforementioned ingredients.

so what is the crust made out of? oat flour, flax meal, maple syrup, and vegan butter. yes, that simple yet it doesn’t taste like it!

i’ve followed other pie crust recipes in the past, and i often was disappointed with the turnout. it cracked and didn’t hold up well. for my crust, i went back to absolute basics and the outcome is superb. the crust holds up amazingly well and the flavor + texture is on point.

ok, if you make these fall gems, be sure to tag me so i can see and repost. have the best rest of the day!
