This collection of The Best Vegan Thanksgiving Desserts are everything you’ll need for your plant-based Thanksgiving. All recipes are easy, oil-free and are sure to be big crowd-pleasers with your family and friends this Thanksgiving!
THE BEST VEGAN THANKSGIVING DESSERTS
First up, a delicious twist on pumpkin pie. There are a billion vegan pumpkin pie recipes out there and I wanted something different, more depth of flavor and spices and a firmer texture. I’m not a fan of the super soft texture of traditional pumpkin pie. This one is perfect and according to all the reviews on it (was written 3 years ago) readers agree it is the best!
THE BEST VEGAN PUMPKIN PIE EVER!
“Oh. My. Gosh. Brand! This is amazing !!!! I made it this morning for our family Christmas dinner tomorrow…I just had a sample to be sure it set up…there are NO words to describe the yumminess of this recipe! I’m not a pumpkin pie lover, but this…THIS !!!! Wow.”
“I made this for Thanksgiving and everyone LOVED it!”
“Brandi, This pie was the hit at my Thanksgiving dinner!”
BEST VEGAN PUMPKIN BREAD
Just read the reviews if you don’t believe me!
VEGAN PUMPKIN CAKE WITH FROSTING
COCONUT BUTTER GINGERSNAPS
Super soft, full of spice and a buttery flavor. So good.
VEGAN CARDAMOM PECAN COOKIES
BEST VEGAN PUMPKIN MUFFINS
My original version uses dried cherries and pumpkin seeds, but my favorite version is this dark chocolate chunk version! Topped with my Pumpkin Caramel. OMG.
VEGAN APPLE HAND PIES
The absolute most delicious, heavenly bites of apple and spices you’ll have. Try to just eat one.
VEGAN GLUTEN-FREE CRISP
This is my hubby’s favorite holiday dessert ever. Easy, oil-free, low-sugar and so much healthier than the traditional apple crisp versions, yet, tastes just as fabulous.
VEGAN CHAI COCONUT OATMEAL COOKIES
Talk about spices, flavor, texture and depth! The reviews have been stellar on these cookies, so if you haven’t made them yet, DO IT. I share my own homemade easy Chai spice blend, too.
VEGAN GINGERBREAD CAKE
When I shared this recipe last holiday season, it exploded with remakes all over and rave reviews. It is THE best gingerbread cake ever, I swear. Just check out some of these reviews. Use a scale, follow the recipe and it will turn out perfect!
“I made it last night, it turned out even better than I used to make with eggs and butter! Amazingly Delicious cake! Texture was great, tender and caky not like most gummy vegan deserts!”
“I said that I was going to make this on my next day off. I just took a bite of the cooled gingerbread. Let me just say that 5 stars is not enough!”
“This is the easiest and most delicious holiday cake I have ever made.”
VEGAN CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN CAKE BROWNIES
Soft like a cake, fudgy and rich like a brownie. Readers have loved this recipe, so if you like both chocolate and pumpkin, add this to your list! This is an older recipe of mine from years back, so it is 11 ingredients, not 8, but they are easy ones and very fast to make.
“Once again, you’ve come up with a recipe that I simply HAVE to make as soon as I see it! These brownies are delicious, soft and chocolatie. My family licked the batter from the bowl and they smelled so good straight from the oven, it was difficult waiting to slice into them, but it was worth it!”
So, these are my top picks for Thanksgiving Vegan Desserts. Obviously, I have hundreds of desserts here on the blog.

My mouth is watering, these all sound so wonderful. I can’t wait to try them.
Thank you so much Marylynn!
I have bag of pecan flour, can it be used instead of almond or oat flour for the pie shell? Is whole wheat flour the same as oat flour? Thank you!! All of these recipes look wonderful!!
What pie recipe are you referring to? The walnut crust? If so, you could sub the 2 tablespoons of oat flour with wheat flour if you don’t need it to be gluten-free. There is no almond flour in that recipe, so not sure what recipe you are referring to. No, wheat flour is not the same as oat flour. One is gluten and one is not (oat flour is just finely ground up oats).
