Pumpkin Pie seems to be everyone's favorite pie, especially this time of the year! This easy to make gluten-free pumpkin pie is delicious.
I have been experimenting with simple crusts that are grain free.This crust is made from almonds and does not have to be rolled. I'm no fancy baker, so I was delighted with the easy simple recipe.
The pumpkin pie recipe has two steps:
- the grain free/gluten free/ dairy free crust
- the golden pumpkin filling ( DF GF too)
Make The Crust First
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Ingredients for the Crust:
1 and 1/4 cups of raw almonds
1/2 coconut sugar ( available in health food stores) it looks and acts like brown sugar but healthier
2 Tablespoons of coconut oil or butter.
1 and 1/4 cups of raw almonds
1/2 coconut sugar ( available in health food stores) it looks and acts like brown sugar but healthier
2 Tablespoons of coconut oil or butter.
Crust Directions:
Use a food processor with the metal blade. Place the almonds and coconut oil in the food processor Turn it on and as it is chopping, add coconut sugar slowly from the chute. Process on an off until the nuts become chopped small and the oil and coconut sugar begin to bind somewhat. Turn off the food processor and press the mixture into the base of a 9 inch pan and set aside.

My notes:
This pie can be dairy-free/parve if you use coconut milk and coconut whipped cream in place of the dairy.

I'm glad that it appeals to you. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting.
DeleteI'd like to try this crust. I appreciate the savings in cost of grinding my own almonds. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteThe almonds ground up in seconds. It was very easy. Good luck!
DeleteJust one question, do you press the crust up the sides like a regular pie crust or is it only on the bottom of the pie?
ReplyDeletePatti,
DeleteI did not, but you could. Just add more almonds, coconut sugar and coconut oil to make a bigger crust.
A perfectly healthy fall treat
ReplyDeleteWhen I want a treat, I want it to be healthy. I've been thinking pumpkin since September

It took me a long time to warm up to pumpkin pie. I've only started enjoying it recently. I don't know why
DeleteSeems very easy. I sure like the idea of not having to roll out a crust. ..or rather the cleanup afterwards!
