These crustless pumpkin pie cups deliver all the cozy flavor of classic pumpkin pie in a lighter, portion-friendly way. Made with pumpkin purée, warm spices, and a touch of maple syrup, they skip the buttery crust and heavy cream to keep saturated fat and sodium low. Baking them in individual cups makes serving easy and helps with portion control at holiday gatherings. Enjoy them warm or chilled as a better-for-you dessert that still feels festive and satisfying.

Ingredients:


  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin purée
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Whisk all ingredients together until smooth.
  3. Pour into lightly greased muffin cups or ramekins.
  4. Bake 22–25 minutes, until set.
  5. Cool before serving.

Notes:

  • These cups taste great warm out of the oven, but the flavors deepen as they chill — try serving them cold for a firmer, custard-like texture.
  • Pair with fresh apple slices or a small handful of toasted pecans for a naturally sweet, nutrient-rich side.
