Guest Post | Paleo Pumpkin Pie

Hi everyone! I’m Meriem and I’m filling in for the bride to be today! I usually blog over at Culinary Couture but today, this fabulous place will be my abode. So, let’s get right into it!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and we all know, Thanksgiving just isn’t complete without pie! Lots and lots of pie! And since there’s lots and lots of pie, you want to make sure yours is the one that stands out, correct? Well, you’re in luck, because today, I’m sharing a recipe for a PALEO pumpkin pie.

Say whaaaat?

Yes, ladies and gents. This pie has no flour, no butter,  no dairy, and no refined sugar. And it’s abso-freakin-lutely delicious!

The crust is almond based and comes together with a bit of coconut oil and an egg. And the filling is a luscious mixture of pumpkin puree, honey, coconut milk, and the essential pumpkin pie spices.

And there you have it! A Thanksgiving dessert that nobody could refuse because hello, it’s basically health food.

Ingredients:

For the crust

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, solid at room temperature

For the filling

1. One 15oz. can pumpkin puree
2. 3 large eggs, room temperature
3. 1/2 cup canned coconut milk, room temperature
4. 1/2 cup honey
5. 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Add almond flour and salt to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add egg and coconut oil and pulse until a soft dough comes together. Press the dough onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer to freezer while you prepare the filling.
3. Wipe down the bowl of the food processor, then add in pumpkin puree and eggs. Pulse until well-combined. Add coconut milk, honey, and pumpkin pie spice and pulse until incorporated.
4. Pour filling into chilled pie crust, using an offset spatula to evenly spread it out.
5. Bake pie for 55-60 minutes, or until center looks set. Cover edges of pie crust with foil if needed, to prevent over-browning. Allow pie to cool down to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight before cutting and serving.

Yield: One 9-inch pie
