Mini Pumpkin Pies (Gluten-Free)
Description
Mini pumpkin pies have such a fun origin story! Hundreds of years ago, Native Americans roasted pumpkins and sweetened them with honey — a tradition that amazed early settlers.
Those settlers took it a step further, filling pumpkins with spiced milk and baking them right in the fire. And just like that, the very first pumpkin pies were born. Personally, pumpkin pies are one of my all-time favorites!
Today, we’ve made them even more exciting — tiny, cute, and perfect for sharing. These gluten-free mini pies are creamy, full of warm cinnamon spice, and smell like cozy autumn afternoons.
They’re the kind of dessert that makes everyone smile because they’re bite-sized and guilt-free. One little pie, and you’re instantly in a fall wonderland with crunchy leaves, cozy sweaters, and that first sip of hot apple cider.
