Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Canned pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.33 cups Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 Pre-made whole-wheat or gluten-free pie crust (uncooked)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, almond milk, and eggs until smooth.
Add in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt. Mix well until fully combined.
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish if not already fitted, and crimp the edges, if desired. Pour the pumpkin filling into the pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Carefully transfer the pie dish to the preheated oven. Bake for 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly jiggles only in the center when gently shaken.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for an additional 2-3 hours before serving. This will help it set further and make slicing easier.
Serve as-is or top with a dollop of whipped coconut cream or Greek yogurt for a guilt-free treat. Enjoy!
