Think outside the box this holiday season. There are SO many delicious Paleo Thanksgiving desserts you could make besides pecan pie.
Don’t get us wrong, we love the classic pie but sometimes, white chocolate pumpkin fudge and cranberry maple apple crisp (peek below) just sound better. Don’t you agree?
So, this holiday, bring something unique to the table and give one (or several) of these Thanksgiving desserts a try.
If you’re new to baking, don’t fret. There’s lots of simple, easy-to-make Thanksgiving desserts on the list, a few don’t even require an oven at all. Enjoy!
