The Easiest Pumpkin Pie You’ll Ever Make – Vegan and Gluten Free

Not that your pie needs to be “healthified” for the holidays—or ever—but I love this pumpkin pie because it’s easy, approachable, and uses ingredients you probably already have on hand. Nothing fancy. Just a stinkin’ good pumpkin pie that tastes like fall in every bite.

It’s perfect for cozy mornings, Sunday baking, or any time you want a little fall magic without fussing over complicated recipes.


Ingredients

Pumpkin Pie Crust –  or use store-bought pie crust!

  • 1 + 1/3 cup GF oat flour

  • 1/4 cup natural almond butter (no fillers!)

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil

  • Pinch of salt

  • 2–4 tbsp warm water

Filling

  • 15 oz can organic pumpkin purée

  • 1/4 cup natural almond butter (no fillers!)

  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

  • 3/4 cup milk of choice

  • 3 tbsp tapioca starch

  • 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.

  2. Make the crust (or skip if using store-bought!!): Combine all crust ingredients in a large bowl and form a dough ball.

  3. Roll it out: Between two pieces of parchment paper (or reusable mats — these are my faves from Amazon).

  4. Transfer to pie pan: Flip the dough into a pan and press + crimp the edges. Don’t stress if it’s not perfect—I’m still perfecting this step myself!

  5. Blend the filling: Combine all filling ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.

  6. Assemble: Pour filling into crust.

  7. Bake: Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and bake for 40–45 minutes.

  8. Cool: Let the pie rest for 1 hour, then refrigerate overnight. This step is key for the texture to set perfectly.

  9. Serve: Add coconut whipped cream and an extra sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice if you’d like.


Tips + Tricks

  • Crust hacks: If the dough is sticky, chill it for 10–15 minutes before rolling.

  • Mixing: Don’t over-blend the filling—just enough to get it smooth and creamy.

  • Serving: Slice with a sharp knife for clean edges. A warm pie cutter works wonders.

  • Extra cozy: Serve with a cup of coffee, chai latte, or a hot cocoa for ultimate fall vibes.


Why I Love This Pie

It’s simple, approachable, and amazingly flavorful without requiring any exotic ingredients. You’ll feel like a baking pro, even if you usually shy away from pies. I was honestly shocked at how epic it turned out the first time I made it—and it’s officially my new go-to for holiday baking.
