Healthy Mini Pumpkin Pies

Healthy Mini Pumpkin Pies are perfect for breakfast, a light snack, or a healthy dessert. These pies have the same texture and flavor as traditional pumpkin pie, featuring unsweetened cashew milk, coconut flour, and maple syrup.

I got home late this afternoon from a weekend in Iowa, hanging out with family and celebrating my cousin's wedding at Prairie Moon Winery in Ames. Even though the final summer holiday is just 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 through legislation passed by the General Assembly. Illinois produces most of the pumpkin consumed in the U.S. {close to 85%}. To celebrate, obviously I had to create a healthier version of pumpkin pie as my first fall recipe this year! These Healthy Mini Pumpkin Pies are gluten free, dairy free, and contain no refined sugar since they are sweetened with pure maple syrup.

I baked these mini pies in a regular muffin tin with coconut flour, and the texture turned out exactly like traditional pumpkin pie. One of these pies would be delicious topped with vegan whipped cream for dessert. Gimme Some Oven's recipe for Coconut Whipped Cream looks insanely good!
