Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot starch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons melted or softened coconut oil or 3 tablespoons melted or softened butter
- 1 egg
- 15 oz can pumpkin purée
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons full-fat coconut milk/cream from a can, shaken
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground or grated nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot starch
- 2 eggs + 1 egg yolk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C. Lightly grease a 9 inch pie plate. Make sure to grease extra well if using coconut oil.
- Add the almond flour and salt to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Stir in the maple syrup and coconut oil or butter. Mix until you get a soft, sandy-like texture, using your hands if necessary.
- Add the egg and mix until a soft dough comes together.
- Transfer the dough to your pie tin. Use your hands to press the dough into the pie dish to form your crust, then blot with a paper towel.
- Pick across the bottom of the crust to let steam escape. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the crust and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the filling ingredients except for the eggs: pumpkin purée, coconut milk/cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and arrowroot starch. Whisk until thick and smooth.
- Whisk in the eggs until well incorporated into the filling.
- Pour the filling into the pie crust and smooth into an even layer.
- Cover the edges of the crust with foil to prevent overcooking.
- Bake for 50 minutes. The filling should jiggle gently when moved.
- Remove from the oven and cool for at least 4 hours for the filling to set.
Notes
- Best served chilled or at room temperature.
- Can substitute coconut oil with butter for a different flavor.
