As promised, here is another "Holiday Head-Start" recipe! November is Diabetes Awareness Month, which I find to be rather ironic due to the gross amounts of sugar and carbs consumed over the holidays. Be that as it may, I have taken it upon myself to develop a Gluten-Free, Vegan, Sugar-Free Pie recipe that can be enjoyed by all. This is the first pre-mutation. I am not 100% satisfied with it yet. It still has a bit of a Stevia aftertaste. I think I know what can be done to rectify that situation. Until then, here is Attempt Number One. Any suggestions are welcome!
Pumpkin Pie (Take One!)
(Gluten-Free, Vegan, Sugar-Free)
Serves 8
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups Vanilla Hemp Milk
- 2 Tblsp Flax Seed Meal
- 1/4 cup Water
- 1 Tblsp Cornstarch
- 1 can Pumpkin Puree
- 1/4 cup Coconut Flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 3/4 tsp Vanilla Creme Liquid Stevia
- 1/4 tsp Ginger
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground Cloves
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray a glass pie plate with non-stick cooking spray.
- Combine the first 4 ingredients in a blender until well combined.
- Add the remaining ingredients and blend about 2 minutes.
- Pour into prepared pie plate and bake about 1 hour until edges are lightly browned.
- Allow to cool completely on the counter.
- Refrigerate over night before serving.
You could back off on the stevia and use some honey but then you would loose the vegan status. I get the vegan issue but come one people, without managed honey bees we would loose over 1/3 of our food source and that includes all those vegan friendly staples.
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious! I love the addition of coconut flour. I'll def. have to make this for Thanksgiving as I haven't been sitting well with gluten and I stay away from sugar.
ReplyDeleteLooks so good & tempting & must taste so flavourfull & lovely!
ReplyDeleteMMMMMMMMM,..!!!!
looks great for a first try your get it right for sure :-0 wow and love the pumpkin curry lentils
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe! I have to do a Store Tour soon on creating a healthier Thanksgiving meal. I was looking for a good sugar-free recipe, but this is even better since it's also vegan! I wonder if people will go for it....hmmm. Well I think the key is to not tell anyone that it is SF and/or vegan. That way they won't go into it with negative thoughts. I bet it tastes great.
