Pumpkin season is here. Hoorayyyyyyy.
I know pumpkin can be a polarizing. Either eaters love it or hate it. I stand proudly on the side of pumpkin love.
Like, literally. Can not get enough of it. See pumpkin cookies in the store, bend a knee, and bow. Stir it into waffles, put it into pancakes, buy it in Costco-sized pie.
But Costco sized pies sitting on your countertops are total temptation.

And so, I set out today to make a single-serving treat. A Paleo Pumpkin Pie for One. Made in two minutes.
The results were divine. Pure ingredients. Simple things you already have. Microzapped until custardy.
With a pecan crust, and a touch of honeyed blueberries, this sweet dessert is the perfect way to enjoy Pumpkin Season without enjoying the WorkYourGiantAss Out season which traditionally follows.
