Crustless, Flourless, Dairy Free, Egg Optional, Vegan/Vegetarian, Weight Watcher Friendly Pumpkin Pie... that actually tastes good.
I developed a pumpkin pie recipe that can please everyone! Yes, it is crustless, flourless, dairy free and egg optional BUT it is full of flavor with that same rich creamy pumpkin pie texture.
Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees.
Flourless oatmeal crust:
1 cup oatmeal (quick or rolled - I prefer quick)
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
6 tablespoons melted butter or margarine (if you want to keep it vegan, fat free to keep it WW friendly)
Sprinkle of cinnamon if desired
Pinch of salt
Combine your oats, dark brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a food processor/blender/* or whatever you have on hand to turn this mixture into a meal flour.
Add melted butter and pulse a few more times until mixture is fully coated and resembles wet sand.
* No food processor? No problem! Mix and mash the mixture until it is moist and well coated resembling chunky wet sand.
Press into the bottom of a 9 inch pie pan.
Bake in your preheated oven for 5-7 minutes. Pull out of the oven and set aside.
Pie Filling:
1 - 15 oz can of Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin (not the pie filling, this is a Weight Watcher's power food btw)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 egg whites or equal parts egg substitute*
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup Silk Original Coconut Milk or your favorite dairy milk replacement
1/4 teaspoon of salt
Put everything in a larger mixing bowl and beat with a mixer until well combined.
Pour mixture on top of your oatmeal crust and bake at 375 degrees for 50 minutes to an hour depending on your oven. The pie is done when a butter knife inserted into the center pie comes out clean.
*Egg substitute you can use in the recipe are as follows:
Add 3 tablespoons of chia seeds or ground flax seeds to the 1/2 cup coconut milk 10-15 minutes before adding to the pie filling. Want it done faster? Try warming the coconut milk for 1.5 - 2 minutes in the microwave at 70% power first. If you dont like the appearance or texture of the chia seeds in your pie, you can always grind them to a powder before adding them to the coconut milk.
Or feel free to try an egg substitute you already use and love.
