Healthy Pumpkin Pie is a lighter, naturally sweetened version of the classic fall dessert. It features a smooth, creamy pumpkin filling made with wholesome ingredients like pure pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and almond milk—all baked in a tender whole-wheat or almond flour crust for a guilt-free treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups pumpkin puree (100% pure, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (or 1 tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp nutmeg, ¼ tsp ginger, ¼ tsp cloves)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 whole-wheat pie crust, oat crust, or almond flour crust (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare your pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, maple syrup, almond milk, coconut sugar (if using), pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust and smooth the top.
  5. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool completely at room temperature.
  7. Chill for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to firm up.
  8. Serve with whipped coconut cream or Greek yogurt if desired.

Notes

  • Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for best results.
  • Don’t overbake—the pie will continue to set as it cools.
  • Make a day ahead for enhanced flavor and easier slicing.
  • For dairy-free, use plant-based milk and whipped coconut cream.
  • Add protein powder for an extra nutrition boost without changing texture.
