Petit Pumpkin Pielets

Cutie Pies!

It’s Pumpkin errything SZN and it’s ON like Donkey Kong

My favorite! Pumpkin is SO good for you. It supports your eyes, skin, heart, immune system and is packed with fiber.

I whipped up a batch of these plant-based Pielets? Pieffins? Petit Pumpkin Pies? For you. Whatever you want to call them, they’re perfectly portioned for a treat that fits into your clean eating lifestyle.

You’ll be surprised at the ingredient list but TRUST me, I’ve been making this recipe for 20 years and it is perfection every time.

Even if you aren’t plant-based, try it and save yourself a lot of saturated fat.

SHARE THIS with a cutie pie pumpkin lover and make a batch together We’re always better that way. xxChefMareya
