This Mini Vegan Pumpkin Pie Recipe Makes Thanksgiving Complete
One thing I love more than PSLs is the pumpkin pie itself. Unfortunately, the coffee drink’s sugar load holds true to this seasonal pie too. Behold: this mini vegan pumpkin pie recipe that tastes delicious, but might actually not be all that bad for you. I’m a major fan of bite-size treats because they’re the perfect portion to curb that sweet tooth without derailing your diet. This is the perfect recipe to bring to a potluck and share with family and friends. There’s something to be thankful for.
