UPDATE: Hey friends! I have made this recipe every Thanksgiving for the past several years (probably 4 years) and I think this was one of the first recipes that I posted. I adapted it from a recipe from Gluten-Free and More magazine (the original recipe is no longer on their website).

Over the years, I have made a few variations depending on our diet/food allergies at the time (things change!), so I am updating the recipe to the latest and best recipe so far – the recipe I made just yesterday.

The updated recipe is simpler with fewer ingredients, and is now vegan and lower-FODMAP (without the honey), so it fits more diets!

I also lost this recipe for a while since some of my recipe plugins crashed when I merged blogs and lots of recipes were swapped and deleted. So I finally got this one back up recently, AND I finally got some better photos for your viewing pleasure since I got a better camera 🙂 They aren’t perfect, but such an improvement over my old ones!

Enjoy the recipe!

This recipe is quick and easy because there is no need to make a crust: the pie makes its own crust! So if you happen to have a difficult time getting your pie crust to turn out right (especially an allergy-friendly one), this recipe is worth trying.

I made this last year for Christmas and decided it was good enough to make again, only this time I made some healthier changes: I used whole-grain flour, and maple syrup instead of sugar.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450° F. Spray a pie pan with cooking oil and set aside (I use a stoneware pie pan so I end up skipping the oil)

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, chia or flax seed, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice
  • Add the dry ingredients to the to the liquid ingredients and mix well.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pie pan making sure there is at least 1/4-inch from the top of the batter and the top of the pie plate. Smooth the top of the batter with a spatula
  • Bake at 450° F for 15 minutes, then lower the heat to 375° F and bake for another 30 minutes

    • Hi Cathy! The amount of spices is a personal preference. We enjoy the amount of spices it has as-written, but everyone has different tastes and can adjust the amount as they prefer. We find that the flavors deepen as it sits (like regular pumpkin pie) so we usually make this a day in advance (plus it saves time during holidays). Also that’s perfectly fine if you’d never call this a pie because even though it probably isn’t technically a proper pie, we are calling it a pie to help people with food allergies find this recipe. So whether it’s an actual pie is irrelevant as long as people can find it, it fills their needs, and they like it. I’m glad you had fun making this recipe!

  1. I need to take a dish to a dairy, gluten, and soy free home. I see that your recipe is dairy and gluten free. What about soy?
    Thank you

    • There is no soy in this recipe, provided you choose ingredients that are soy free (as well as gluten and dairy free). If the people you’re making this pie for have severe allergies, make sure you choose ingredients for this recipe that are safe for them.

  2. I’ve never made an allergy-friendly pumpkin pie for my son. This recipe is safe for him and it looks delicious. Thank you for sharing.

  3. I am excited about the idea of this pie, however my attempt turned out really strange. Uncooked in the middle, hard on the outside. We ate it I guess.

    • Hello, thanks for your feedback! What kind of pumpkin did you use for this recipe? It would be hard for me to pinpoint exactly what went wrong with this recipe since I don’t know how it was prepared, but I suspect perhaps it may have been the pumpkin or the flour. For the best results, use pumpkin puree that is thick and not watery (I use Libby’s canned pumpkin). If you used another type of flour besides brown rice flour that may contribute as well. If you try the recipe again let me know how it turns out!

    • Also, the oven temp is 450 for only part of the time then it’s lowered. If the temp was kept at 450 for the whole baking time, it might have caused the pie to be hard on the outside and uncooked in the middle as well.
