Recipe | Healthy Pumpkin Pie Squares
Vegan Pumpkin Pie Squares
Thanksgiving is all about spending time with loved ones, taking a moment to be grateful, and of course about enjoying the season's harvest. The pumpkin pie at the end of the meal is one of the things I most look forward to each year, and as much of a traditionalist as I am when it comes to the perfectly classic pumpkin pie, this healthier (yet just as delicious) vegan pumpkin pie square recipe from 'Oh She Glows' is an amazing option. Indulging while still being able to avoid some of the most common allergens is a bonus, especially if you have various guests with several dietary needs to accomodate for. There is no wheat, gluten, dairy, or eggs included in this recipe.
