Paleo Pumpkin Pie Recipe - Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Nut-Free and Vegetarian
If your childhood was like mine, you regularly consumed the pumpkin pie from Costco. Unfortunately, this pie (and most pies you buy from the grocery store) contains sugar, corn syrup, canola oil, refined flour, and mono & diglycerides. The Holiday season can be full of STRESS and SUGAR. This recipe is a tool for reducing your sugar intake (i.e. stress on the immune system and gut) during the Holidays.
As you may know, bad oils, gluten, and artificial sweeteners destroy the walls of your gut. In turn, this depletes your energy, causes your skin to break out, and causes stomach pain. Making this recipe instead of a conventional pumpkin pie recipe will help reduce the stress that the immune system often experiences this time of year.
I’ve searched far and wide for the perfect nut-free paleo crust that also doesn’t have too much starch. This uses my favorite coconut flour which is light and nutrient-dense.
Here is a pumpkin pie recipe that is Paleo and GAPS friendly. Enjoy this simple recipe that your family/friends will enjoy and that won’t wreak havoc on your body:
