Guess what? Nope .You can’t guess. Can you? I don’t think you can! But maybe you can. I don’t know. Just guess! Okay, I’m going to tell you, but you have to listen very carefully. THIS IS THE GREATEST PIE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. Why, you may ask? Simple. Well first off, it tastes pretty darn spectacular. Second off…drumroll please… THERE ARE ONLY 250 CALORIE IN THE ENRITE PIE. All 8 inches of pumpkin-y goodness can be yours for only 250 calories, crust, filling, and all. You see, this is important enough for large font, no? Never too much large font in case of pie. Pie is quite possibly the greatest expression of love human being can give one another. See? That’s how much I love you. I made you pie.
Healthy Pumpkin Pie [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
Ingredients
For crust
- 1/4 cup chickpea flour
- 1 Tablespoon applesauce
- 1/16 teaspoon salt
- 1 packet stevia
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 Tablespoons almond milk
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 Tablespoon egg replacer whisked together with 2 Tablespoon water
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 teaspoon + 10 drops liquid stevia, or to taste
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease an 8-inch pie pan and set aside. I use a spring-form pan because it makes the pie much easier to slice cleanly, but you can use a regular pie pan if that’s all you have.
- Combine all ingredients for crust and spread evenly over the bottom of the greased pie pan. Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden and firm.
- Meanwhile, whisk together all the ingredients for the filling until very thoroughly combined. Pour over the baked crust and bake in the oven for 35 more minutes. Chill the pie for at least two hours before serving. It may seem a but liquid-y right after you take it out of the oven, but fear not! It will firm up.
- Holiday dinner? No problem! You’ve got this pie in tow. Bring it on.

Hi Kelly,
The recipe sounds wonderful. BUT…the egg replacer which links to a Bob’s Mill EGG REPLACER contains wheat gluten. This particular recipe is not gluten free. Consulting other vegan resources could bring you to a truly gluten free reipce. THE GARDEN OF VEGAN has an egg replacer made with flax seeds and water.
FLAX EGGS
1/3 cup of whole flax seeds
1 Cup of Water
In a blender or food processor, blend the flax seeds , until they form an even consistency. SLow add water, until the mistue becomes thick. Transfer to an air tight container. Keep refridgerated for three-six days. MAkes 6 “eggs”.o smoop
