Description

This Healthy Pumpkin Pie recipe offers a deliciously spiced and naturally sweetened twist on a classic dessert. Made with pumpkin puree, natural sweeteners like maple syrup and coconut sugar, and warming spices, it’s a wholesome treat perfect for holiday gatherings or cozy fall evenings.

Ingredients

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
  • 3 eggs, whisked
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Crust

  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust

To Serve

  • Whipped cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the pie evenly.
  2. Mix Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, maple syrup, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Prepare Pie Shell: Place the unbaked pie crust on a sheet pan to catch any spills. Pour the pumpkin filling evenly into the pie shell, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  4. Bake Pie: Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. The filling should be set—with edges firm to the touch but the center still slightly jiggly.
  5. Cool Pie: Remove the pie from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely for 2 to 3 hours to let the filling fully set and flavors develop.
  6. Serve: Optionally, add a dollop of whipped cream on top before slicing and serving. Alternatively, store the pie in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the pumpkin puree is pure and not pumpkin pie filling to maintain the correct texture and flavor.
  • Use a sheet pan under the pie crust to catch any drips or spills during baking for easier cleanup.
  • Letting the pie cool completely before slicing is crucial for clean slices and full flavor development.
  • Maple syrup and coconut sugar provide natural sweetness; feel free to adjust sweetness based on preference.
  • This pie can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
