This is an overhead vertical image of a pumpkin pie. The pumpkin pie is in a white pie dish with a light brown pinched pie crust, a large dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon. The pie dish sits on a light grey, almost white surface. Antique silverware is to the right side of the pie dish. To the top right corner of the image is a couple small white plates stacked on top of each other. A small white plate with a slice of pumpkin pie is to the bottom right corner and another plate with a slice of pumpkin pie is in the bottom right corner. A small handheld sifter with ground cinnamon is to the bottom center of the image with two cinnamon sticks.
Gluten free pumpkin pie is luscious, creamy and perfectly spiced with warm, cozy flavor. The flakey almond flour crust is the perfect base!

It’s pie season y’all!! Pies with fruit. Pies with nuts. Don’t forget the chocolate pies! We’ve got pies on pies on pies, people!!

Everyone has their favorite pie. My favorite is pecan. This chocolate ganache pie is a close second, though. I use this almond flour pie crust in all of them because it’s super simple and only four ingredients. If you’re looking to experiment with your own pie middles, that almond flour pie crust is a great base!

Since we have to cover all our bases, pumpkin pie has to happen. It’s a must!

This gluten free pumpkin pie is…

Dairy free!! I love using coconut cream in the pie not because I’m, necessarily going for a dairy free thing. I’m using it because it makes for a better, silkier, creamier pie. The crust uses a bit of butter but if you want to do the whole shebang dairy free, just sub in your favorite vegan butter!

Perfectly spiced! I love the warm spices of pumpkin pie. It’s so sweet and lovely. Don’t hesitant to bump it up a notch if you want the kind of spice that knocks your socks off. Add an extra teaspoon or a little extra sprinkle never hurt nobody!

This is a vertical image looking at a pumpkin pie from an overhead angle. The pumpkin pie is cut into with slices taken out and the image focuses on the layers of crust and pumpkin. The pie has a large dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon. The pie dish sits on a white surface with a small stack of white plates to the top right corner and a spoon peeking in from the right side of the image.

Ingredients for gluten free pumpkin pie filling:

  • Pumpkin Puree: provides the signature pumpkin flavor essential for a classic pumpkin pie. Plus it adds the body to the filling, making it thick and smooth.
  • Coconut Cream: adds a rich and creamy consistency, making the filling silky and luscious.
  • Eggs: Bind the ingredients together and provide structure, helping the filling set properly. They also contribute to the smooth, custard-like consistency.
  • Coconut Sugar: Offers a rich, caramel-like sweetness that complements the spices and pumpkin.
  • Agave Nectar, Honey, or Maple Syrup: Add sweetness without being overly refined.
  • Coconut Oil: Adds moisture and richness to the filling, contributing to a smooth texture.
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice: A blend of spices (typically cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves) that enhances the pumpkin flavor, adding warmth and depth to the filling.
  • Cinnamon: Adds a distinct warmth and spiciness that complements the pumpkin and other spices, making the flavor profile more complex.
  • Salt: Enhances and balances the sweetness and spices, bringing out the flavors of all the ingredients and preventing the pie from tasting flat.

The pie crust is crimped and pinched around the edges to create a scalloped edge. The pie dish sits on a light grey and white surface with a fork on the surface to the right side of the pie dish.
Make the pie crust and pre-bake it.

How to make filling for gluten free pumpkin pie

Whisk together the coconut cream, pumpkin puree, eggs, pumpkin spice, salt, agave nectar, coconut sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla. You’re welcome to add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg if you like your pumpkin pie a bit more spiced.

When the crust is done baking, slowly pour the pumpkin mixture in the center and pop it back into the oven for another 50 – 60 minutes until the center is set and the top is no longer wet looking.

Top with your favorite whip cream or ice cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 2.5 cups almond flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Pumpkin Filling

  • 1 can pumpkin puree
  • 2/3 cup coconut cream
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 tbsp agave nectar, honey or maple syrup
  • 1 heaped tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. First, make the crust. Use a rubber spatula or your hands to combine the butter, coconut sugar, almond flour, egg, and salt.
  3. Use damp hands to press the crust into the bottom of a greased pie dish. Press the dough up the sides and pinch the edges to a scalloped look.
  4. Use a fork to pierce the bottom a few times and then bake for 10 minutes.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, coconut cream, eggs, agave nectar, coconut sugar, coconut oil, and pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
  6. When the crust is done baking, pour the pumpkin mixture in the center.
  7. You can rip strips of aluminum foil to fold around the pie to prevent the crust from getting too browned while the center bakes.
  8. Bake it for another 50 – 60 minutes until the center is set and the top is no longer wet looking.
  9. Top with your favorite whip cream or ice cream. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon and flakey salt and enjoy!

    “Beat the second egg in a small bowl and brush the inside and edges with the egg”.

    I am not sure I follow this instruction line. Brush the inside and edges where? Can you help me understand?

      I think it could be made a few days in advance. I like it best fresh, but it definitely holds for a few days! xo
