Five on Friday: Pie Recipes with Our Bloggers’ Connection

Join us each month as we round up our favorite seasonal posts from the Cooking Light Bloggers’ Connection.

This month’s theme is pies, and we're giving thanks for these delicious non-traditional Thanksgiving desserts.

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie: Everything you love about this Turkey Day classic blended for a sweet sip. The Happiness In Health also threw in frozen strawberries and bananas to add some cool fruity flavors.

Chocolate-Bourbon Pecan Pie: Believe it—a vegan and gluten-free pie can have a flaky, buttery crust! With a splash of booze and a dash of espresso powder, Recipe Renovator serves up an irresistibly rich chocolate dessert.

Potato-Crusted Cauliflower Gruyere Pie with Bacon-Parmigiana Crumb Topping: Pies aren't all sweet—Panning the Globe actually proves that the best are sometimes savory. This healthy, gluten-free pie features a ridiculously delicious topping of crumbled bacon and shredded parmigiana cheese. Seconds, please!

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Fudge Brownie Pie: There's no combination more heavenly than peanut butter and chocolate.Perfectly curated for the holiday rush, Healthy Aperture uses store-bought shortcuts to whip up a quick and easy pie.

Whole Grain Pie Crust Cookies: Extra pie crust? No big. Freeze it and bake festive holiday cookies. Teaspoon of Spice's twist on iced sugar cookies is healthier, but doesn't lack in flavor.
