Sometimes…a full pumpkin pie is just too much. Too much work, too much time, too much food. But you know what is just as good? Little bite-size pumpkin pies that include absolutely no crust prep, but still have alllll the flavor. Maybe I’m just a little biased this year because I requested to not cook Thanksgiving dinner this year and sub for a steakhouse instead, which means the last thing I want to do is spend any time in the kitchen. I want a real holiday this year, filled with a server handing me my plate of steak and mashed potatoes, followed by me eating Thanksgiving dessert in my pajamas at home. And when I say dessert, I mean something stuuuuupid easy. Like these pumpkin pie bites, my Pumpkin Pie Cookie Crisp, and/or my Gluten Free Apple Dump Cake. This Thanksgiving is going to be glorious!!
Actually…this whole next year is going to be glorious. You know why?? I’M PREGNANT!! I announced it this past Sunday on my instagram and on my podcast, but in case you missed it…Hi, I’m currently with child!! If you’ve been following for many years, you may know that I’ve always been anti-child. But something changed these past couples years as I’ve worked on myself and grown as a person. It’s been a pretty cool experience. And even though we were trying, it came as a complete surprise. No part of me actually thought I was pregnant then BOOM, a positive pregnancy test was smiling back at me. Pretty rad. And pretty damn excited to share the experience throughout! All the ups, all the downs, and all the things I learn along the way! But first, let’s eat some pumpkin pie, you beautiful soul!!
Easy Crustless Pumpkin Pie Bites
- Prep Time: 10 minutes

- Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
- Yield: 12 bites 1x
Ingredients
- 15 ounces pumpkin puree
- 1 cup canned coconut milk*
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar or maple sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- pinch of salt
- whipped cream, for garnish
- grain free crunchy cookies, crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with parchment paper liners and spray with coconut oil spray.

Notes
*I blended my coconut milk before measuring. This mixes the cream and water that tend to separate in the can.

After the canned coconut milk ingredient is an asterisk, which usually means “more info at bottom of page;” however, additional information is not included about the coconut milk anywhere, including in the pix of ingredients you used. So what’s up with the coconut milk?
At the very end underneath the last sentence of the cooking instructions, it says…

This mixes the cream and water that tend to separate in the can.
Could the coconut milk be subbed with another plant milk?
yes, i believe so
Hi Juli! The coconut milk has an asterisk next to it but I can’t find what the asterisk is meant to denote. Can you clarify? Looking forward to making the recipe!!
The note is just after the recipe, just keep scrolling. These are terrific! So easy, quick and tasty! Thanks for the wonderful alternative to a pie!!

Can you make these with regular milk?
Thank you! and Congratulations very excited for you!
that should still work!
Hi is there a substitute for the eggs, I have vegans in my family, as well as my son is Celiac, so this could be a great dessert so I don’t have to make 3 different recipes
i haven’t tried the recipe another way so i can’t say for sure that it would work, but you could try Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacer!!
Is the bake time really only 20 minutes? Mine were still completely liquid after 20 so I baked them for another 25 minutes so for a total of 45 minutes. I found similar recipes online and they all said bake for 40-60 minutes.
mine only baked for 20 minutes!!!
Interesting. Did you use coconut milk that contains guar gum or without it?
i honestly have no clue!
