Best Ever Healthy Pumpkin Pie
Description
Best Ever Healthy Pumpkin Pie features a smooth mixture of pumpkin puree, eggs, pure maple syrup, coconut sugar, almond milk, and a blend of warming spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, and allspice. The ingredients are combined until fully smooth and poured into a pie crust or directly into a greased pie pan for a crustless option.
The pie is baked at 350°F until the filling sets but still retains slight softness, approximately 50–60 minutes. Covering the edges with foil or a pie shield can prevent excessive browning. After baking, the pie is cooled completely and refrigerated before serving, allowing flavors to develop and the texture to firm.
This pumpkin pie offers a naturally sweetened alternative to traditional versions and can be topped with whipped cream or ice cream. It serves nine and can be made with store-bought crust for convenience. It stores well in the refrigerator and also freezes well if prepared ahead.
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- For the pumpkin filling:
- 1 pumpkin puree 15 ounce (425g) can
- 3 egg
- ¼ cup maple syrup 78g; pure
- ¼ cup coconut sugar 39g, or organic cane sugar
- ¼ cup almond milk 60g, unsweetened (any milk will work
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Make pie crust as directed.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, add the pumpkin puree, eggs, pure maple syrup, coconut sugar (or regular sugar) almond milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, allspice and salt. Mix until well combined and completely smooth. Pour into pie pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until filling is no longer jiggly. Check pie after every 20 minutes to make sure crust isn't burning. If it is getting a little too golden brown, simply cover pie edges with foil or a pie shield.
- Allow pie to cool for at least an hour before serving. Pie should be kept in fridge once completely cool. Top with whipped cream or ice cream. Store pie in fridge. Serves 9.
Notes
- Store-bought crust can be used without compromising flavor or texture.
- Using coconut sugar will darken the filling’s color but maintains taste and consistency.
- The pie can be made crustless by baking the filling directly in a greased pan for a simpler preparation.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and freeze if making in advance to maintain freshness.
