Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin puree
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with a small amount of coconut oil.
- In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt until the mixture forms a dough.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared pie dish, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides. Poke a few holes in the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the pumpkin filling into the pre-baked crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake for 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Helpful Tips
For a more robust flavor, you can add a tablespoon of molasses to the filling mixture. If you’re short on coconut oil, melted butter or ghee can be used as a substitute. Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 4 days. If you prefer, you can make the crust a day ahead and store it at room temperature.
Complementary Dishes and Drinks
This Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie pairs delightfully with a dollop of whipped coconut cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For beverages, consider serving it with hot apple cider, spiced tea, or a rich, dark coffee for a complete fall experience.
