Making a vegan pumpkin pie is a challenge but can be done! Pumpkin pie is such a traditional dessert for Thanksgiving that I had to find a recipe!
Vegan Pumpkin Pie
I've read a dozen or so recipes for vegan pumpkin pie but always came up short some way. I found one in The McDougall Quick And Easy cookbook but changed it to use maple syrup instead of honey. I upped the spices because I like my pumpkin pie really spicy! I also like to make a crumble of candied ginger and chopped pecans in the bottom of the pie before filling.
