Paleo Pumpkin Pie Bites are the perfect sized dessert to serve after Thanksgiving dinner! Just big enough to satisfy your sweet tooth, plus you don’t have to share. Made with healthy, wholesome ingredients, you might have to help yourself to two!
Am I the only one who could go for a couple of these Paleo Pumpkin Pie Bites this morning? I always need a little extra push of motivation to get going on a Monday and these bites would definitely help.
I hope you guys all had a great weekend, no complaints from me. It was warm here again which seems so odd the second week in November. It’s been so warm in fact, that I’ve noticed many of the trees are getting buds and new growth on them again. It’s funny to see the ones that haven’t even lost all of their fall leaves already starting to try and grow new ones. I’m sure it will be short lived because I saw we are supposed to have more “seasonal” weather later this week.
I’m starting to get pretty excited about Thanksgiving, it’s probably my favorite holiday. I love that it’s centered around being with family, friends and sharing a good meal together and not about having to go shopping and find the perfect gift. I get so irritated when I see commercials for Christmas the day after Halloween. No mention of Thanksgiving, it’s like the media forgot about it.
No matter how full I am after Thanksgiving dinner, I always find a little more room for dessert. Of course after I sample all the pies I’m borderline sick and feel like I’m about to explode, but I can’t resist something sweet.
I made these Paleo Pumpkin Pie Bites with my sweet tooth and lack of space in my stomach after Thanksgiving dinner in mind. They are made in a mini muffin tin and just the right size for those of us that need something sweet after a big meal.
Like the name says, these bites are Paleo meaning there’s no grain, dairy or refined sugar in them, but they still taste just like traditional pumpkin pie…maybe even better!
On top of being full of wholesome ingredients they have an extra boost of protein in them thanks to Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides. I’m seriously obsessed with adding collagen to my food and drinks. They dissolve almost immediately and you can’t taste them at all. You do however reap the benefits of healthy skin, hair, nails, extra protein, digestive benefits and more. I truly encourage you to give them a try if you haven’t yet!
This Thanksgiving instead of making an entire pie and feeling like you might explode afterwards, try these healthy and perfect sized, Paleo Pumpkin Pie Bites!
