5 Healthy Pumpkin Desserts for the Holiday Season

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BC chapter.

Just because the Thanksgiving season has come and gone does not mean pumpkin-flavored anything has to go away with it. The holidays are just getting started and you know what that means—food, and lots of it. Often the weeks leading up to finals and all through break are detrimental to our healthy eating habits… but they don’t have to be! Here are five flourless, gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, egg-free, guilt-free pumpkin desserts you can bake for the rest of the fall, winter, and holiday seasons.
