Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • Pinch of salt

Crust Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegan butter
  • 2–3 tbsp plant-based milk (adjust as needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gently mix in the melted coconut oil or vegan butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add a splash of plant-based milk as needed to bring the dough together. Chill the dough in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  2. Mix the pumpkin filling: In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, maple syrup, plant-based milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well blended, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.
  3. Assemble the bites: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled crust dough and cut into small circles or squares to fit your mini muffin tin or silicone mold. Press the dough pieces into the cups to form small tart shells. Spoon the pumpkin filling into each shell, filling nearly to the top but not overflowing.
  4. Bake to perfection: Bake the Vegan Pumpkin Pie Bites for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust turns golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before removing from the mold to keep their shape intact.

Notes

  • Chill the dough to prevent shrinking and to create a flaky crust.
  • Do not overfill tart shells to avoid filling overflow during baking.
  • Adjust spices to balance flavor; too much may overpower, too little may be bland.
  • Allow bites to cool completely for easier removal and better firmness.
  • Use fresh or quality canned pumpkin puree without added sugars or spices for best flavor.
