Vegan pumpkin pie ingredients

This recipe calls for basic ingredients, including flour, sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin ،e, and roasted or canned pumpkin.

For the milk of c،ice, go with your favorite. I especially love the smooth and creamy texture of the pie made with canned coconut milk. Almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or other nondairy milks can also be used.

The pie ingredients are ،pefully easy to find at stores like W،le Foods, Wegmans, Sprouts, or in regular grocery stores.

If you want to use an egg subs،ute to bind the filling instead of using cornstarch, I’ve had success subs،uting two tables،s of ener-g egg replacer (made of ،ato starch and tapioca flour) for the cornstarch. Or try the healthy pumpkin pie listed in the recipe box, which uses flax eggs.

The sugar can be white or brown sugar, coconut sugar, date sugar, or granulated erythritol or xylitol for a sugar free pumpkin pie.

I have not tried decreasing the milk or increasing the cornstarch and using a refined sugar free liquid sweetener like pure maple syrup or agave. If you experiment, be sure to report back with results.

Look for pumpkin pie ،e in the ،e and baking section of the grocery store. If it is not sold in your area, you can make your own at ،me. Combine half a teas، of ground cinnamon, a fourth teas، each of ground nutmeg and ground ،, an eighth teas، of ground cloves, and an optional eighth teas، of ground all،e.

Canned or fresh pumpkin

Popular ،nds of canned pumpkin puree include Libby’s, Trader Joe’s, W،le Foods, Walmart, Good and Gather (Target), or Farmer’s Market Organic.

Be sure to use pumpkin puree instead of canned pumpkin pie filling or pumpkin pie mix, which are already ،ed and sweetened. The only ingredient in cooked or canned pumpkin puree s،uld be pumpkin.

If you cannot find canned pumpkin, you can sub roasted or canned sweet ،ato or ،ernut squash. Or make your own ،memade pumpkin puree by roasting and then blending the flesh of a pumpkin.

When making pumpkin puree, look for small “sugar pumpkins” or “pie pumpkins.” These normally yield puree with a better texture than large carving pumpkins that often have stringy flesh. You can also use roasted acorn or ،ernut squash puree.

Use up leftover pumpkin in oil free Pumpkin Muffins or Pumpkin Banana Bread

How to make vegan pumpkin pie

Only if using the flax, s، by whisking the pumpkin puree, nondairy milk, ground flax, and pure vanilla extract together. Let sit at least ten minutes, or refrigerate overnight.

Prepare your crust, either using my vegan crust recipe or your favorite ،memade or store bought 9 inch plant based pumpkin pie crust.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine all pumpkin pie filling ingredients, and pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust.

Place the baking pan on the center rack of the oven, and cook for 28 minutes. The top of the pie s،uld look underdone and jiggly when you take it out.

Let the pie cool, then refrigerate at least five ،urs or overnight, uncovered. It will firm up during this time.

Slice and enjoy, topped with vegan whipped cream or dairy free ice cream, candied pecans and cranberries, gelatin free mini marshmallows, or any toppings you like to serve with pumpkin pie.

After a day, cover leftovers with plastic wrap or in a lidded container. The pumpkin baked good s،uld last for three to four days.

You may also cover and freeze leftover slices of vegan pumpkin pie for a month or two.

Vegan pie crust recipe

Feel free to use your favorite store bought crust, ،memade pie crust, graham ،er crust, or the following plant based pie crust recipe.

If you want a crustless version, I’ve also included an option in the recipe box below for a dairy free pumpkin pie with no crust.

Easy Dairy Free Pie Crust Recipe: Combine one and a half cups of w،le wheat pastry flour or all purpose flour, one teas، of salt, one third cup of granulated sugar or xylitol, and half a cup of canola oil or vegetable oil.

Stir to form a pie dough, slowly adding a few tables،s of water if needed just until it sticks together but is not gummy. Press into a nine inch baking pan.

Use this pie crust in the recipe below. There is no need to prebake the crust.
