Clean Eating Pumpkin Pie

This recipe is one of my husband’s favorites. He loves pumpkin pie, and I love that this recipe is not only easier on the waste line than most, but clean to boot!

I adapted this recipe from the book, “Laurel’s Kitchen Caring – Recipes for Everyday Home Caregiving” by Laurel Robertson. Although difficult to find, this book is well worth the search. It’s clean eating, but it’s also all about nourishing and nurturing.

I meant to do this post for Thanksgiving, but then got really side tracked with all the holiday hustle and bustle.  So I hope you can still enjoy this recipe for Christmas, or which ever winter holiday you celebrate.

Happy Holidays!

Clean Eating Pumpkin Pie
(Makes 2 traditional sized pies)

I used this pie crust recipe.

Ingredients
2 cups prepared pumpkin
1/2 cup agave
4 egg whites
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1 1/2 cups unsweetened soy milk (you can also use non-fat milk or unsweetened almond milk)

Directions

Step 1 – Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and mix thoroughly.

Step 2 – Pour mixture into pie crusts.

Step 3 – Bake at 425 degrees F. for 15 minutes.

Step 4 – Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. and bake for 45 additional minutes.

Side Notes: This pie is not very sweet. If you prefer a sweeter pie, add an additional 1/4 cup of agave.

Eat and Enjoy!
