Mini Paleo Pumpkin Pies with Gingerbread Cookie Crust

For the pumpkin pie filling:

pumpkin puree

maple syrup

almond milk

vanilla extract

cinnamon

nutmeg

ginger

allspice

For the gingerbread cookie crust:

coconut oil

coconut sugar

blackstrap molasses

egg,

almond flour

coconut flour (do not pack)

baking soda

salt

For topping:

Whipped cream coconut cream

First make your pumpkin pie filling: in a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, egg, egg yolk, pure maple syrup, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with 1.5-inch x 5-inch parchment paper strips, they do not need to be exact but should generally just fit in the muffin tin. Spray muffin tins (with parchment paper in them) with nonstick cooking spray and press the parchment paper strips down into the grease to help them stick to the pan -- this is also to help you get out the mini pies when they are done baking so do not skip it!

In a large bowl, mix together melted and cooled coconut oil, coconut sugar, molasses, egg and vanilla extract.

Next add in almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, spices and salt; mix well to combine and form a dough. Allow dough to sit for a few minutes to thicken up.

Next, use your hands to roll dough into 12 ( around 1-inch) dough balls. Place each dough ball into muffin tin and use your hands or a teaspoon to help you form the dough into pie crusts, pressing down and working the dough about ¾ of the way up the muffin tin. Make sure there isn’t any holes in the bottom or sides. Bake for 5 minutes.

Once done baking, you’ll notice that the cookie crust may have puffed up a bit and that’s okay. Simply take a teaspoon and gently press it down on the bottom and sides while it’s still warm.

Next add the pumpkin pie filling to the cookie cups. Each cup will get approximately 1.5 - 2 tablespoons of filling. To smooth the filling, barely shaking the pan back and forth to settle the filling.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until filling no longer jiggles. Allow mini pumpkin pies to cool completely in the muffin tin before removing them from the pan. To remove them, gently run a butter knife around the edges of the crust, then pull up on the parchment paper to remove. Serve immediately or cover and place in the fridge until ready to serve.

Once ready to serve, top each pumpkin pie with a little whipped cream or coconut whipped cream, then sprinkle with just a tiny bit of cinnamon. Enjoy!

These mini pumpkin pies are baked with a cream cheese pumpkin filling and a cinnamon sugar crust. They're so quick and easy to make!

Mini Pumpkin Hand Pies

oz cream cheese, room temp

(100 grams) light brown sugar, packed

(115 grams) pumpkin puree

tsp pumpkin pie spice

(100 grams) granulated sugar

Remove the pie dough from the refrigerator and allow the sheets to come to room temp while you make the filling.

In a bowl using a fork, mash and mix together the cream cheese and brown sugar.

Once smooth, mix in half of the pumpkin puree. Once combined, mix in the other half along with the pumpkin pie spice and salt.

Preheat the oven to 400F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Lightly dust your surface with flour and unroll one of the pie sheets. Use a rolling pin to gently smooth the surface, just enough to smooth out any wrinkles and ridges. 

Using a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter or a homemade pumpkin template (I made mine out of the box the pie dough came in &#8211; see notes for details), cut out your pumpkins. Roll out the scraps to cut out a few more pumpkins. You should be able to get about 10 pumpkins per sheet.

Transfer these pumpkins to the refrigerator while you cut out the other sheet. 

Now place half of the pumpkins on the baking sheet, spaced evenly apart. If you can&#8217;t fit all 10 pumpkins, leave the excess in the refrigerator and bake after the first batch is done. 

Fill the center of each pumpkin with a tablespoon of the filling, leaving a small border around the edge.

Beat the egg with about 2 teaspoons of water. Brush the bare border of each filled pumpkin with the egg wash.

To the other half of the pumpkins, cut 4 slits to resemble the ridges of a real pumpkin. I like to think of it as two sets of parentheses, a larger one going on the outside with a narrow set on the inside. 

Place the vented pumpkins on top of the filled pumpkins and gently press down on the seems to seal the pies shut. Then crimp the edges with a fork and brush the surface of each pumpkin with the egg wash.

In a small dish, mix together the cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon sugar on top of each pumpkin.

Bake for 12-14 minutes. Allow the pumpkins to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. 

These are so cute! I have a partial can of pumpkin purée in the fridge right now and a box of pie crusts in the freezer. Can’t wait to try this!

Surprise your Thanksgiving dinner guests with a mini gluten free vegan pumpkin pie for each! An individual dessert that is naturally sweetened with dates, easy to make and perfect for fall-themed dinner parties or the holidays. Oil-free

Mini Vegan and Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pies - Date Sweetened

oat flour (certified gluten-free if needed)

flaxseed meal (mixed with 1.5 tablespoons of water)

dates

pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)

cashews

9-10 dates (soaked in hot water

cornstarch

pumpkin pie spice

Non dairy milk

For the crust : Add the dates to a food processor and process until the dates break down into a soft doughy mixture. Then add in the oat flour, almond flour, salt, and cinnamon, and the flax egg and process until the mixture becomes a crumbly mix.

Check by pressing the mixture to see if it sticks to each other or not. If not, then add in a few drops of water or if you are okay with using oil, then add in a few drops of oil and process again until the mixture makes fat crumbs and easily sticks together when pressed.

Transfer this mixture to your greased mini tart or pie pans and press well evenly. Then put the pie crust to bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit(180c)  for 10 minutes.

Make the pumpkin pie filling : Soak the cashews and dates in hot water if you haven&#39;t soaked them already for at least 15 minutes. Then drain and add to a blender. Add the rest of the ingredients and process until the cashews and dates are evenly blended up and mixed into the pumpkin puree mixture.

You can add in a few teaspoons more non-dairy milk if the mixture is not blending well. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired with some cane sugar or 1-2 more dates. The mix will get sweeter on baking, so let it be less sweet.

Remove the crust from the oven then add  pumpkin pie filling in all of the pies and even it out. Then put them back in the oven to bake.

Check at 25 minutes if the center is set non-jiggly otherwise you can bake for another 5 minutes. Then remove the pans from the oven.

Let cool completely, chill for atleast an hour and then top with your favorite whipped coconut cream or a vegan vanilla ice cream topping and serve. Store refrigerated for upto 3 days. Or freeze.

Mini Pumpkin Pies are easier than pie and they are the ultimate Fall treat. You’ll love the buttery crust and creamy pumpkin center topped with whipped cream. These Individual Pumpkin Pies are everything you love about Classic Pumpkin Pie, but they are easier to make.

Mini Pumpkin Pies Recipe

pie crust disk (or 2 store-bought pie crust rolls)

brown sugar

tsp vanilla extract

evaporated milk (6 oz)

heavy whipping cream

Tbsp sugar

Unroll pie crusts or roll homemade pie dough into 1/8” thick on a floured surface. Cut 3 1/2” circles using a cookie cutter or the lid from a wide-mouth quart-sized jar will work great. Should get 12 disks total. If using homemade pie dough, you will need to re-roll scraps to get 12 rounds of dough.

Grease a 12-count non-stick muffin pan lightly with cooking spray and place dough rounds inside of each cup, molding the dough to the sides of the muffin cups.

In a large bowl, make the filling: whisk together pumpkin puree, 1 egg, 1 yolk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla. Gradually whisk in evaporated milk and whisk until combined. Divide the filling between the muffin cups. You should have just enough to fill them up. 

Bake at 350˚F for 30-40 minutes or until the tops of crusts are golden brown (Homemade crust takes longer to bake and is closer to 40 minutes, while store-bought bakes in about 30 minutes).

Cool in pan 10 minutes then run a knife or cake release tool around the edges to help release and transfer to a wire rack and cool to room temperature. Once cool, pipe with whipped cream and dusted with cinnamon.

Mini Pumpkin Pies Recipe - Your Favorite Fall Dessert!

Easy, 10-ingredient mini vegan pumpkin pies with coconut oil crust! Naturally sweetened, simple to make, and so flaky and delicious! The perfect dessert for fall, especially Thanksgiving.

Mini Vegan Pumpkin Pies

Tbsp olive oil coconut oil

pumpkin pie spice*

tsp sea salt

all-purpose flour

3-6 Tbsp ice cold water

Whipped Cream

Brown Sugar Pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (174 C), and see notes about coconut oil before starting.

Add all pie filling ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth, scraping down sides as needed. Taste and adjust flavor as needed (it shouldn’t need anything). Set aside.

To prepare crust, add flour and salt to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.

Next add coconut oil in spoonfuls (see photo) and use a pastry cutter (or fork) to cut the two together, until it resembles wet sand - about 30-45 seconds.

Add ice cold water 1 Tbsp at a time and use a wooden spoon to gently mix. Add only as much water as needed to help it come together and form a dough - about 3-4 Tbsp (as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size).

Use your hands to gently knead/form the dough in the bowl and gather any loose scraps. Then transfer directly to a well-floured surface and form into a disc with your hands.

Roll out your dough into a circle about 1/4-inch thick, adding more flour if the crust sticks. Then use a large, round cookie cutter (~3 1/4-inch in diameter) to cut out as many circles as the dough will allow - you’re aiming for 12 (as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size), and you should have more than enough dough.

Dust a large wooden cutting board (or other surface) with flour, and use a spatula to scoop on one circle at a time.

Lightly flour top of circle, then use your rolling pin to gently roll it out slightly larger and thinner - about 1.5 times its starting size. Be careful not to get it too thin or it will be difficult to work with.

Use your spatula to lift the crust, then use your hands to drape the crust into your muffin tin, allowing the edges to fold and curl over itself to accommodate its shape (see photo). Use your hands to carefully form the crust into the tins, being careful not to stretch the dough, but rather fold and push it down to meet the tin’s shape.

Repeat until all tins have been filled and most of the crust is used - reserve any leftover for future pies or other baked goods.

Pour filling into pie crusts a generous 3/4 full, and use a spoon to level the top. Bake at 350 degrees F (174 C) for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is light golden brown and the filling appears golden brown and slightly cracked on top.

Remove from oven and let cool completely before serving - about 2-3 hours. Serve at room temperature, or transfer to a serving platter, loosely cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours, or overnight. Will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, though best when fresh.

Serve as is, or with coconut whipped cream and an additional sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, and/or pumpkin pie spice (optional). These would also be amazing with my Brown Sugar Pecans!
