Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz Pumpkin puree
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Egg whites
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Ground ginger
- 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with non-stick spray or a small amount of oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, egg whites, unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth.
Add the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, salt, and cornstarch to the bowl. Whisk again until the mixture is well blended and no lumps remain.
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly.
Place the pie dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the pie is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The pie may have a slight jiggle in the center but will firm up as it cools.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Slice the pie into 8 servings and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
