8 Vegan holiday pies made with plant-based, gluten-free ingredients — perfect for any winter celebration.
Are you a pie person or a cake person? I grew up puzzled by the idea that birthdays automatically called for cake. I always imagined a candle planted in a flaky, fruit-filled pie would be a better celebration. While I never ended up celebrating with pie instead of cake, pie season is one of my favorite parts of the year.
Pie is lovely year-round, but when autumn and winter arrive I find myself pulling my pie pan out of the cupboard with extra enthusiasm. That cozy, comforting feeling is exactly why I’ve rounded up these 8 vegan holiday pies — all plant-based and gluten-free — to make your seasonal baking simple and satisfying.
These recipes include full pies and pie bars so you can choose how much time and effort you want to put in. Pie bars are a wonderful, approachable option when you want the flavors of pie without the fuss of rolling crusts. Every recipe here uses straightforward ingredients and clear steps, so even if you don’t bake often, you’ll have success.
Below are the eight favorites I recommend for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, or any winter gathering. Each entry includes a short description to help you pick what fits your menu and mood.
Apple Pie Crumble Bars
Apple Pie Crumble Bars with an almond-oat crust, a warm stovetop apple filling, and a crunchy crumble topping. They make a comforting breakfast, snack, or dessert during fall and winter.
Pecan Pie Bars
These pecan pie bars are vegan and gluten-free, built on an almond flour crust and naturally sweetened with dates. Packed with pecans, they capture the classic pecan pie flavor in an easy-to-serve bar format.
Vegan Chocolate Pie
A rich vegan chocolate pie made with just a few ingredients. A grain-free chocolate crust is filled with a silky combination of chocolate, almond butter, and coconut cream for a decadent yet simple dessert.
Sweet Potato Pie Bars
These sweet potato pie bars are vegan and gluten-free, featuring an almond flour crust and a date-sweetened filling. They’re perfectly portioned for holiday buffets or smaller gatherings.
Pumpkin Pie with Coconola Crust
A plant-based, gluten-free pumpkin pie made with a crunchy coconola-style crust and a refined-sugar-free pumpkin filling. It’s a great seasonal staple that feels indulgent without being overly sweet.
Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Bars
No-bake pumpkin cheesecake bars made from a creamy cashew-coconut filling set on a simple granola-bar style crust. These freeze well, making them a convenient option for holiday prep ahead of time.
Butternut Squash Pie
A lovely alternative to pumpkin: vegan and gluten-free butternut squash pie with an almond flour crust. It offers the same cozy spices and creamy texture with a slightly sweeter, nuttier flavor profile.
Vegan Dark Chocolate Pecan Pie
A decadent dark chocolate pecan pie with a grain-free crust and a filling sweetened with Medjool dates. Loads of dark chocolate chunks make this a show-stopping centerpiece for any holiday dessert table.
