Vegan Spiced Butternut Pie
Serves: 6-8 | Ready in 45m
Ingredients
For Crust:
1 1/2 cups Almond flour
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup xylitol
1/2 cup coconut oil
2-4 tbsp. water
For filling:
1kg butternut pieces – steamed and blended to form a puree
400g full-fat coconut milk
1/4 cup rolled oats
2 tbsp. ground flax seeds
1/3 cup xylitol
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground cloves
¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ground ginger
¼ tsp. Pink Himalayan salt
1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C
Step 1: Prepare Pie Crust
In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients for pie crust. Add coconut oil and stir. Add water as needed until mixture begins to stick together. Press evenly into a round pie pan.
Step 2:
Place some baking paper over the top of the pie crust and cover with a few raw speckled beans (The crust will rise, so the beans will assist in keeping the pie crust flat). Put the crust in the oven and immediately increase the temperature to 280°C. Bake 15 minutes until cooked through, crisp and lightly browned. Allow to cool.
Step 3: Prepare Filling
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Blend all ingredients or pie filling together in a food processor until smooth, and pour over ready cooked pie crust.
Step 4:
Allow to bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes remove from oven and allow to cool. Pie filling will still seem slightly underdone after this time but this is what you want. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 5 hours uncovered, so that the pie can thicken and “set.”
Serving Suggestion: Before serving, top with a little cinnamon and flaked almonds. For a fruitier taste, you can also top with fresh blueberries.
