This is an incredibly easy and delicious pumpkin pie recipe to make for Thanksgiving! I promise your omnivore friends / family will not miss the eggs or condensed milk from most traditional pumpkin pie recipes and will probably be surprised that this recipe is free of animal products. I never loved the traditional Pumpkin Pie recipe but this recipe is so good that I could not resist licking the spoon and scooping any leftover batter from the bowl to eat!
Note- This recipe is best if it refrigerates overnight so plan to make it the day before Thanksgiving!
Ingredients
2 15oz cans pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup pure Maple Syrup
1/3 Cup Almond Milk
1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
3 Tablespoons Cornstarch
2 Teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
dash of Sea Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Combine all ingredients: pumpkin, brown sugar, maple syrup, almond milk, coconut oil, cornstarch, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, vanilla and sea salt, in a bowl and mix well (it is really that easy!)
- Pour batter into a 9 inch pie crust, because I was focusing mainly on perfecting the pie filling I used store bought gluten free crusts (do not pre bake the crust), but I linked a few great pie crust recipes below.
- Cover the edges of the crust with foil to prevent them from burning
- Bake for approximately 60 minutes
- DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!!! You will want to dig in immediately once your pie is cooled, I get it...it smells heavenly and looks so creamy and delicious, BUT it has to set or the consistency will be more like custard than pie. Once it's cool refrigerate for a minimum of 5 hours or better yet overnight.
I did not use whipped cream for this recipe (nor did my taste testers miss it) but I have to admit that a little dollop of this vegan whipped cream probably would have been an AMAZING addition on top of a slice of this pie.
What dishes are you planning to make for Thanksgiving? I am making this pie and a veganized version of Green Been Casserole (will post recipe soon) Please let me know if you try out this Pumpkin Pie recipe, I always love to hear from you! AllthingsMelissaAnn@yahoo.com @allthingsmelissaann
