Pumpkin Pie The Way It Should Be

December 11, 2017

I’m a huge fan of pumpkin pie and when I gave up refined sugar I wanted to find an alternative that I wouldn’t feel guilty eating.

Here is my recipe for pumpkin pie the way it should be:

Pumpkin Pie The Way It Should Be

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 cup almond flour (substitute: 1 cup of almonds or pecans finely ground in a blender until flour like).
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil plus some to grease the pie pan.
  • 1 egg.
  • ¼ – ½ teaspoon Cinnamon powder to taste.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Grease the pan with the coconut oil.
  • Mix ingredients by hand.
  • Press crust into the bottom and sides of the pie pan.
  • Bake until barely brown (approx. 8-10 mins).
  • Remove crust and let stand while preparing the pie filling.

Ingredients 

Pie Filling

  • 1- 15oz can of 100% pure pumpkin nothing added.
  • 1/4 cup honey.
  • 3 eggs.
  • 1 Tablespoon pumpkin pie spice mix (preferably organic so it doesn’t have added sugar)- substitute with 2 teaspoons cinnamon and 1/4 tsp each of cloves, ginger and nutmeg.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Instructions

  • Combine the pie filling ingredients and mix using an immersion blender. You can also use a regular blender or food processor if you don’t have an immersion blender. The texture needs to be smooth and spreadable.
  • Pour/spread the filling over the crust.
  • Bake at 325 for about an hour or until the centre is no longer jiggly.

Now you’re probably asking yourself “where’s the whipped cream?” Well I have just the solution for you. Try this pumpkin pie recipe with my Non-Dairy & Vegan Coconut Milk Whipped Cream you won’t regret it.
