Standard

I LOVE Pumpkin pie and that’s an understatement.  Unfortunately, it’s not the healthiest food on the planet, that is, until now.  My friend Brent passed along one of the most healthy pumpkin recipes EVER!

Your Body & Taste-Buds are sure to Love Organic Pumpkin Deserts

This recipe is a little more involved than the ones I normally post but nothing you cannot handle.  It has two parts, the first part the pecan desserts part aka the healthy pecan crust.  The second part is the pumpkin desserts part aka pumpkin pie filling!  Let’s get started…

Part 1:  The Crust

  • 1/2 cup almond meal
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 4 tbsp melted butter (organic grass fed salt free butter)
Mix the butter and almond meal until an even consistency.  Then add in the pecans and spread at the bottom of your pie tin.  You’ll need to preheat your oven to 350 F and cook this for 10 minutes while we make the filling.

Part 2:  The Pumpkin Pie Filling

Liquid Ingredients Ingredients
  • One can or around 2 cups of organic pumpkin (don’t get pie filling).
  • Two omega-3 enriched eggs.
  • 1/2 cup Raw locally collected honey (if you’re in Tucson checkout Holly’s Little Farm)
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Add liquid ingredients to a small mixing bowl and mix until even consistency.  Then add the spices.
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
Mix pie filling until an even consistency.  Once crust is completed cooking add the pie filling to it and cook for 45 minutes at 350 F.

Who-la Even You can Bake Taste-bud Tantalizing Yet Healthy Pecan Pumpkin Pie!

For those of you a bit skeptical about the butter your welcome to substitute using any other oil of your choice such as olive oil or coconut oil.  You can also substitute the coconut milk for another non-dairy milk such as almond milk.  Experiment a little.  I’m sure either way it will come out amazingly well!
