With the holidays coming up, I thought it was only appropriate to share a recipe that is easy to make, great for holiday entertaining, and delicious. I know we all have busy schedules that somehow get even busier around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Holiday entertaining, Christmas shopping, Christmas cards, baking, baking, and more baking, traveling to visit loved ones…the list goes on. While all of these things bring us joy, they can also cause a great deal of stress.
The last thing any of us have time to do is slave away in the kitchen. To help you cut down on kitchen time and eliminate as much stress as possible, I’m sharing a sweet treat that is very quick and easy to make. These Mini Crustless Pumpkin Pies are mixed, baked, and out of the oven in 30 minutes. In addition to being easy to make, these cute pies taste just like pumpkin pie but have a fraction of the calories and fat. So, you can indulge and not worry about logging in lots of time at the gym!
These Mini Crustless Pumpkin Pies are a great recipe all around. Consider yourself one step closer to being ready for the upcoming holiday season!
