Believe it or not, this homemade pumpkin pie is free of refined-sugar, gluten-free, and 100% vegan. Yeah, @healthwithacrunch DID THAT 🤤 🥧🎃🍁

Ingredients

Crust:

• 3 cups oat flour
• 1/2 cup maple syrup

Directions:

1. Blend the oats to make your oat flour
2. Mix the flour with the maple syrup and water in a medium sized bowl until a dough consistency forms
3. Shape the dough around your pie pan to create what will later be the crust
4. Now blend the dates and plant-based milk until a paste forms
5. Mix this paste with the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon in a large bowl
6. Pour the filling into the crust
7. Bake on 475 Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes
