Ingredients

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin spice blend of cinnamon, ginger, allspice and nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup coconut oil or cold butter
  • 3 tablespoons 100% pure maple syrup or sugar free sweetener

  • For the pumpkin filling:
  • 15 ounces pure pumpkin puree
  • ¾ cup almond milk
  • ¾ cup 100% pure maple syrup or sugar free sweetener
  • 3 egg whites
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

  • Place the pecans in a food processor and process until you have a coarse flour.
  • Add the almond flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, coconut oil, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla and pulse until a ball of dough forms.
  • Using the palms of your hands, press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a pie pan.  Spread into a thin layer thoughout the sides and bottom.  
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Begin to prepare pumpkin filling by mixing all of the ingredients together.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake about 55-60 minutes, or until you put a toothpick through the center and it comes out clean . 
  • Top with chopped pecans or whipped cream if desired. 

Notes

If you would like to make this completely sugar free, I used two tablespoons of Monk fruit in the pecan crust and ½ cup Monk fruit in the pumpkin pie filling.
You an also use walnuts or another type of nuts for the crust if you'd like. Jut make sure they are fresh to avoid a bitter taste.
Make sure to chop the pecans uniformly, preferably pulsing using a food processor which will be the easiest way.
