This is a traditional, seasonal dessert that is naturally gluten free and sweetened by maple syrup. This recipe makes for a subtly sweet pie that tastes “just like the real thing.” It’s perfect to whip up if you have a gluten free guest coming by, and it doesn’t use any rare or obscure ingredients.
Cook Time: 45-60 minutes
Refrigerate crust for at least 20 minutes before use.

Ingredients

CRUST
1 1/2 cup Maine Grains Organic Rolled Oats, ground in a blender to make oat flour
1 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup salted butter, melted
4 tbsp cold water or more as needed
MAPLE SWEETENED PUMPKIN FILLING
1 1/2 cup pureed pumpkin or squash (one 15 oz can of pumpkin puree)
3 tbsp arrowroot powder or tapioca starch
2 eggs
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp allspice
pinch of cloves

Directions

CRUST
In a bowl combine your crust ingredients. Mix till combined. Add water if needed for it to keep its shape
Press the crust into a 9-10″ pie plate
Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before use.
When ready to assemble, preheat oven to 375°
FILLING, ASSEMBLING, BAKING
Combine pumpkin filling ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk or mix together until all combined.
Feel free to add extra flavors or spices – brandy, cardamom, fresh ginger, etc.
Pour into the chilled pie crust and bake for 45 – 60 minutes
The middle will still look somewhat unset and moist but will set as it cools.
Allow to cool, serve with whipped cream!

Notes

Use an olive or coconut oil cooking spray to roll out dough. It is a little unconventional to the “floured surface” with these hearty, or gluten free recipes it makes for easier pliability and maneuvering, without over drying the crust.
