Day 18 of the 50-day Paleo Challenge: Paleo Pumpkin Pie!
Made this recipe this past weekend and it was awesome! Hit the spot! I like this specific recipe because of how simple it is... and sometimes simple is good!
Crust:
1 1/2 cups of almond flour
1/4 cup coconut oil
pinch of sea salt
We mixed ours with a hand blender until the consistency was even then took the dough and evenly pressed it into the pie pan about 1/2 inch up the sides so that the crust was evenly distributed.
Note: The filling is enough for two pies (I just halved the recipe because my can of pumpkin was only 15 oz.), so you may want to consider making a double portion of crust or you could just bake the filling by itself and enjoy it that way. We made two crusts, and modified one, by adding a little almond extract and lemon zest to one crust.
Filling: (REMEMBER to half the amounts if you're making only 1 pie)
1 can of pure pumpkin (29 oz) nothing else added - Whole Foods Kahala has the 15 oz. Organic Canned Pumpkin on sale right now... 2 for $6!
3 “real” cage free eggs if you can get them (if you are only doing half the recipe, use 2 eggs)
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup local honey
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp fresh ground nutmeg
pinch of sea salt
Beat eggs, honey, vanilla until frothy, then add all the other ingredients and carefully blend until even and smooth. Fill pie pan with crust and bake on convection at 350 F for about 50 minutes. Check it to make sure that it’s not burning and ultimately check with a toothpick or metal kabob stick to see if anything sticks, if not it’s done.
