Lower Sugar Pumpkin Pie

One word. SATISFACTION.

Second word. DELICIOUS.

Third word. DOWN TO EVERY LAST BITE!

It’s not Thanksgiving (or Fall) without it. I’m talking about Pumpkin Pie but today… we are talking a low sugar pumpkin pie that will blow your socks off. This a very easy recipe to follow. As a matter of fact, my husband participated and said “wow, this is easy, if I can do this – anyone can!”

Low In Sugar. Dairy-Free. Gluten-Free. Grain-Free. Paleo Friendly… and EASY!!! 

The filling is so perfect and the best part… LOW in sugar.

Also this pie is amazing the next day and if you are anything like me then you’ll love it for breakfast too.

But let’s not forget about this “4 ingredient” crust! OH MY. The walnuts add such a great taste and texture. 

Yes…this crust is only four ingredients and absolutely DELICIOUS! It has them all going “hmmm… what is that?!”

SOME RECIPE NOTES:

• Start with 1/2 cup almond milk and work your way up just to make sure you get the right consistency.
• Also if your crust does not get sticky, just try adding a few more dates for the right texture.
• Don’t forget your favorite dollop of whipped topping (optional).

Enjoy!
