Ingredients

1 Person

For the crust:

100 g

almond flour or oat flour
30 g

stevia
30 g

Coconut oil
1

large egg

For the filling:

300 g

pumpkin puree
2

large eggs
150 ml

reduced-fat milk
50 g

Whey Protein Vanilla
2 tsp

cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice)

Preparation

1

Mix stevia and almond flour in a bowl. Add the coconut oil and egg. Mix until a smooth dough ball is formed, adding more flour as needed.
2

Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
3

Grease a 24-cm pie tin with butter or shortening. Remove the dough from the fridge. Carefully roll out on a floured surface. Transfer the crust to the greased pie tin. Gently press into the tin with your fingers.
4

Use a fork to poke a few holes in the crust. Prebake in the oven for 10 minutes.
5

While the crust is baking, mix all the filling ingredients in a large bowl until they form a smooth mixture. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
6

Put the filling mixture into the crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes. If needed, cover with foil or parchment paper to prevent burning the edges of the crust.
7

Set the pumpkin pie aside to cool, then cut into 12 slices and serve.
