Healthy Recipe: Pumpkin Pie

When you think of holiday desserts, your mind probably goes right to pumpkin pie. It’s the star of many Thanksgiving tables, but unfortunately, even though the pumpkin packs a lot of nutrition, most versions are also full of lots of sugar. We decided to makeover the holiday treat to make

Keep in mind that this is still a dessert and should be eaten like one — just a little! — but it’s a much better option than your standard recipes.

Pumpkin Pie Recipe

What You Need: For the Crust:

1 c. almond flour
2 tbsp coconut flour
2/3 cup tapioca flour
1/2 cup grass-fed butter
1 tbsp coconut sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 large egg

For the Filling:

1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
2 eggs, room temperature
½ c. full-fat coconut milk
½ c. pure maple syrup
2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp ginger
½ tsp allspice
¼ tsp cardamom

What To Do: For the Crust:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Pulse all crust ingredients, except for the egg, in a food processor. Once thick crumbs form, add egg and continue to pulse until a dough forms. Remove dough from food processor and shape into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for one hour.
After the dough is chilled, press into a 9-inch pie plate. If dough is sticky, use parchment paper to shape dough into plate. Pierce dough with a fork.
Bake for 6 minutes, just enough to set. Remove from oven and set aside.

For the Filling:

Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl. Pour into prepared, partially baked pie crust.
Bake for 45 minutes or until filling is set and no longer jiggles. Allow to cool for 2 to 3 hours before serving.

Enjoy!
