Vegan Pumpkin Pie

Thanksgiving and Christmas just got yummier!

There is always room for pumpkin pie, right?

So who said going vegetarian or vegan would limit your food choices? This recipe packs all the yummy goodness of the traditional recipe, but contains no animals products whatsoever.

Ingredients

• 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust, thawed
• 1 can organic pumpkin (15 oz)
