Share:
Ingredients
For the Crust
- ½ c rolled oats
- ½ c pecans
- ½ c whole wheat flour
- ¼ c Flax Seed ground
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 4 Tbsp butter softened, cubed, salted
- 1/3 c water
For the Filling
- 2 cups (1-15oz can) pumpkin NOT pumpkin pie filling!, puree
- 1/3 c brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 2 egg
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp allspice
- ½ tsp ginger
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ c milk skim
For the Topping
- ¼ c pecans
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F.
For the Crust
- In the bowl of your food processor, place the oats and ½ c pecans. Pulse until finely chopped.
- Add flour, ground flax seed and 2 Tbsp brown sugar. Pulse to combine.
- Add butter cubes and pulse to cut the butter into the mixture, until it resembles coarse sand.
- Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition, until the mixture begins to stick together. (If you press your finger into the dough, it should hold its shape and not crumble apart.)
- Press 1 tablespoon of dough into each of the wells of a well-greased muffin tin. Press the dough up the sides of the tin, to line the tin with crust.
For the Filling
- In a medium bowl, whisk pumpkin puree with 1/3 c brown sugar, corn starch, eggs, cinnamon, allspice, ginger and salt. Add milk and mix until combined.
- Pour roughly ¼ c of filling into each crust-filled muffin tin.
For the Topping
- Pulse ½ c pecans and 2 Tbsp brown sugar until the pecans are finely chopped.
- Sprinkle the topping over the pumpkin custard.
Baking and Beyond
- Bake the pies for 45-50 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center pie comes out clean.
- Let the pies cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before running a knife around the outside of each of the pies to loosen the crust.
- Once loosened, invert the pan over a flat baking sheet and give the muffin pan a couple of shakes. If the tin was well-greased, the pies should pop right out. Turn them right side up and cool completely on a wire rack.
- These pies will keep up to one week in the refrigerator.
