Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat milk)
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup or agave
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Crust Ingredients

  • Store-bought vegan pie crust dough or
  • 1 cup crushed vegan graham crackers mixed with 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust or base: Press the vegan pie crust dough into mini muffin tin cups or mix crushed vegan graham crackers with melted coconut oil and press firmly into the muffin cups to form the base.
  2. Make the pumpkin filling: In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, plant-based milk, maple syrup, flaxseed meal, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Stir until smooth and creamy, ensuring all flavors are well blended.
  3. Fill the crusts: Spoon or pipe the pumpkin filling over the prepared crusts, filling each muffin cup almost to the top while leaving a small space for expansion during baking.
  4. Bake the pumpkin pie bites: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and crust edges turn golden brown.
  5. Cool and chill: Let the bites cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill and firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Use canned pumpkin for a smoother, less watery filling.
  • Chill the bites before serving to help them hold their shape and enhance flavors.
  • Measure spices carefully to avoid overpowering the filling.
  • Press the crust firmly to prevent crumbling when baking or serving.
  • Keep an eye on baking time as ovens vary to avoid drying out the bites.
