It’s almost that time and I know you need at least one Vegan Pie to top off your amazing Thanksgiving dinner this year. While there are a lot of vegan Tday desserts, I am very partial to pie myself. So check out all these vegan pie recipes including pumpkin, nut, fruit, and more!
Why Have Vegan Pie on Thanksgiving?
I think pie is the best Thanksgiving dessert. We had pumpkin and pecan pies on my table when I was growing up, but the world of pies is so much larger than that.
I remember making my first non-southern pie. It was a maple walnut pie from one of Nava Atlas’ cookbooks. The idea of a nut other than pecans – being the star of a pie – was new to me.
That was just the beginning of the many wonderful non-traditional vegan pie recipes I would fall in love with.
The picture above is a Salted Date Caramel, Chocolate Mousse Pie with Almond Coconut Crust (Photo and recipe from Vegan Richa) that’s to die for.
I finally have a few pies on the blog this year and this Gluten-free Vegan Pumpkin Pie with a Teff Flour Pecan Crust is one of my favorites.
If you have nonvegan guests over the holidays these little Vegan Treacle Tarts will open their hearts to try other vegan goodies. They are very sweet, in a pecan pie way, but the lemon really lifts them up and makes this seem fancier.

Need a few savory recipes too? You could make my Slow Cooker All in One Thanksgiving Dinner for Two or even make large Thanksgiving Potato Stuffing Balls with a Cranberry Center. Or you could take a quick peek at my savory tday roundup post.

I think the credit to the Pumpkin cheesecake is incorrect. I know, I make it every year. Its from the FatFree Vegan website.

You are completely correct. I had the links correct, but did that by mistake. I’ll correct it now but it is absolutely Susan Voisin’s recipe.

Wow, these pies look amazing! If any of your readers are looking for an unusual variation that is gluten free, sugar free, flour free, soy free, low fat and absolutely delicious, here’s my latest effort. The “secret” ingredient is persimmon. 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving!

That sounds delicious and I have a ripe persimmon!

It may be just me but it was extremely difficult to read the names of the pies as they appeared to be in a yellow color. Otherwise they look delicious and I plan on trying several of them (not all at once though!). Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing my “I can’t believe it’s not pumpkin” pie recipe, Kathy! All these desserts make me wish the Canadian Thanksgiving was happening again this week.
