Grain Free Pumpkin Pie

Grain Free Pumpkin Pie.  Who doesn’t like pumpkin pie? I find people will scour the internet for a good pumpkin pie recipe this time of year too.

I’ve been trying pretty hard to get a pumpkin pie recipe just right.  I have had several fails.  I am happy to tell you that this grain free pumpkin pie is delicious.

This pumpkin pie is not only grain free, but it’s vegan, gluten free and soy free as well!  So I am happy to say I finally have a healthy grain free pumpkin pie recipe that is good enough to share!

This pumpkin pie even got the thumbs up from my girls.  They both wanted to eat it before I had a chance to take photos!  Just for the record, they claim to not like pumpkin. 🙂

For the crust, I decided to use a recipe from Elena’s Pantry.  Because, why mess with perfection?  Her crust recipe is amazing and so simple.

I hope you enjoy this pumpkin pie recipe as much as we enjoyed eating it.

Recipe Notes

When mine was done cooling, it still felt slightly loose, so I put it in the fridge and it completely firmed up. That worked out great. I think that arrowroot is just a tad less stable than cornstarch. However, it is free of GMOs and that’s why I used it over cornstarch. Enjoy!
