Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (gluten-free if needed)
1/4 cup coconut oil or melted butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk (or dairy-free cream)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup almond butter or peanut butter
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
Optional: Coconut whipped cream, crushed pecans, cinnamon dusting
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Mix until fully combined and sticky.
- Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Place in the freezer to firm up while you prepare the filling.
- In another bowl, mix pumpkin puree, coconut milk, maple syrup, almond butter, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, salt, and cornstarch until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the filling over the prepared crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 6 hours or overnight until completely set.
- Before serving, top with coconut whipped cream, crushed pecans, and a dusting of cinnamon if desired.
Notes
Swap almond butter with cashew or sunflower seed butter for different flavors or nut-free option.
Layer melted dark chocolate over the crust before adding filling for extra indulgence.
Use dairy-free cream cheese for a firmer texture.
Add a splash of bourbon or rum to the filling for a festive twist.
Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
