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!

    1. I dry/mill the almond meal (skins on), when I make almond milk, so I have quite a bit in my freezer..Do you think that would work in the crust?
      1. I'm not sure. I make my own milk as well and I know that the pulp doesn't always work in baking recipes. If you try, please let me know so I can tell others. :)
      2. I think you would be able to thaw your pulp, squeeze out the excess water and spread it on a baking sheet and dry it out in the oven, then it could be pulsed in the cuisinart and made into a flour
    2. This sounds yummy! I only have regular almond flour, do you think that would work? Not sure my local health good has the blanched variety
      1. Thank you. To make a flax "egg" take 1 tablespoon flax meal + 3 tablespoons water. Whisk together and throw it in the fridge. The texture will become gummy like an egg. Works great!
    3. Hello, what can I use instead of arrowroot? I also don't have any almond flour. what can i use instead of that? I appreciate any suggestions!
      1. Can you get cornstarch? I know you are out of the US, so there should be no worry about GMOs in corn. :) Are you gluten free? IF so, you can try oat flour. If you are not gluten free, spelt flour might work. Please keep in mind I have only tried with the almond flour, so I'm not 100% sure those will work in this recipe.
        1. Thanks! I will go to my local organic store tomorrow and see if she stocks either. otherwise I will try your suggestions. Many many thanks!
    4. It was amazing I've learned I can not eat wheat, and this was delish. I love your ideas and healthy whole foods thank you for all your hard work!!
    5. Does xantham gum work in the filling? I've used it for other things in place of arrowroot.. Only because I had it at the time. Thanks!
