12 Easy Vegan Thanksgiving Dessert Recipes (GF): this year, gather ’round these amazingly tasty + wonderfully easy vegan Thanksgiving dessert recipes! Featuring pumpkin bread, apple crisps, coffee cakes and more! Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy-Free, Paleo Options.
Happy almost Thanksgiving everyone! What kind of amazing plans do you have this year? Have you finished all of your grocery shopping, or are you still gathering up the last few ingredients for this year’s festivities?
Every year, Erik and I go back and forth planning what kind of wonderful Thanksgiving recipes we want to make, each of us adding on all the foods and desserts we’ve been dreaming about all year. By the time we’re done, we typically end up with a list so long it unrolls like a cartoon scroll across the floor. .
Then, we come together and pare it down into a somewhat more reasonable/manageable list (and by “we”, I mean Erik pares it down, then I give him a death stare, then I smile sweetly and say how it’s reasonable to have a longer list, then we enter negotiations and lengthen the list a bit), and head out to the store for some seasonal shopping fun.
This year, we’re all about the desserts (okay, we’re basically always about the desserts every year, but this year we’re even more about them!). And if you happen to also be all about the vegan Thanksgiving desserts for your holiday spread, then you’re definitely going to love today’s post.
Today, we’re sharing 12 of our favorite & super easy vegan Thanksgiving dessert recipes, plus a few extras to help you round out that vegan dessert table. 😉 Because, you can never have too many vegan desserts—especially on Thanksgiving!
Best Tools for Easy Vegan Thanksgiving Dessert Recipes
- My Favorite Baking Pans: 8-inch Square Baking Pan | 8-inch Loaf Pan | Cookie Sheets | 12 Muffin Pan
- Medium Cookie Scoop: I love how easy it is to make cookies when you’ve got a cookie scoop on hand. A true hero of vegan Thanksgiving dessert baking!
- 4oz Prep Bowls: Okay, these bowls are awesome. They make it super easy to get all your ingredients ready ahead of time and keep them organized (which is no small feat during Thanksgiving).
- Where to Buy Ingredients: Coconut Sugar | Ground Flaxseed | Vegan Chocolate Chips or Paleo Chocolate or my new favorite Paleo Chocolate Gems | Pumpkin Puree | Pure Vanilla Extract | GF Oat Flour or try Homemade Oat Flour
