Pumpkin Pie

Veronica's Healthy Living
Yes! You can make pumpkin pie! And you can make it healthy! Easy Peasy!
I simply substituted a few ingredients for healthy ones, using the recipe on the the back of the can of pumpkin pie filling. I usually use a gluten-free pie crust (store-bought), but if you are not watching gluten, then a regular crust works great! And don’t forget the whipped cream!  See below.

  • 1 pkg Frozen ready-to-bake pie crusts (2 crusts)

  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ½ tsp sea salt

  • *can use 1 ¾ pumpkin pie spice in place of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg
  • 1 (12 oz.) can coconut milk
