    Ingredients For This Recipe

    Here are the ingredients you need to make this recipe. Reference the recipe card at the bottom for exact measurements and the notes below for substitution ideas.

    crust ingredients for this recipe

    Almond Flour Crust Ingredients

    • almond flour: use almond flour, not almond meal.
    filling ingredients for this recipe

    Filling Ingredients

    • maple syrup: you can use coconut sugar or honey but note that using coconut sugar will make the pie darker than what you may be expecting. I love the fall flavors maple syrup brings to the recipe.
    • coconut cream: be sure to select full fat coconut cream (it comes in a can) rather than coconut milk.
    • pumpkin puree: use all natural pumpkin puree instead of canned pumpkin pie mix. You can use organic if you choose.

    How to Make This Recipe

    This is a step by step walkthrough of how to cook this recipe. Exact cook time and temperatures are available in the recipe card at the bottom.

    steps for making this recipe
    • Make the crust: Mix together crust ingredients and press into a pie plate sprayed with coconut oil spray.  You will then bake them at 350F for 15 minutes.
    • Mix up the filling: Mix together healthy pumpkin pie filling ingredients in a separate large bowl.
    • Bake: Spoon the pumpkin pie filling into the pre-baked crust. Bake the crust for an additional 45-60 minutes.  The crust is done when the top is set and does not jiggle.

    Expert Tips for Making This Recipe

    • Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze the pie by wrapping it tightly in freezer safe wrap and storing in the freezer for up to 1 month.
    • Make Ahead: I tend to eat this right from the refrigerator making this healthy pumpkin pie the perfect recipe to make a few days ahead.
    • Bake pie on middle or lower rack to prevent burning and promote more even baking.
    • If crust begins to burn put foil around the edges during the last part of baking to prevent it from burning.
    • Allow pie to cool completely before slicing. Pie will set up in 3-4 hours.
    • Top with whipped cream or ice cream if you like.
    • Make into healthy pumpkin pie bars by baking in a square Pyrex baking dish and allowing pie to completely cool in the refrigerator before cutting into squares.

    Recipe FAQs

    Is this a healthy dessert?

    This lightened up version of the classic version is made with less sugar from being naturally sweetened by maple syrup. It's also dairy free made with no condensed milk.

    Can I make it with no crust?

    Yes! Follow the directions to make it without crust and instead bake the filling according the second bake directions.

    Can I make it with an all butter crust?

    You can skip making the paleo crust and instead use a refrigerator pie crust that is a flaky style crust. It will still be healthier than the traditional recipe since the filling is made with less sugar and is naturally sweetened.

    Can I freeze it?

    Yes. Allow pie to cool and tightly wrap in freezer safe wrap and store for up to 1 month. Bake in either an aluminum pan or a Pyrex freezer safe dish.
