Since I was a little girl I have always loved pumpkin pie and with pumpkins galore at halloween I thought I would try my first homemade gluten free pumpkin pie.  Pumpkins are an amazing vegetable that can be enjoyed in both savoury and sweet dishes.  It provides 2 1/2 times your daily recommended amount of Vitamin A as well as Vitamin C, Iron, Zinc, polyphenols and antioxidants.  So why not throw it into your next recipe or give this pumpkin pie recipe a try.

HEALTHY GLUTEN FREE PUMPKIN PIE
Serves 1 pie
 
Ingredients – Pie shell
1 cup of gluten free/whole oats (ground)
½ cup of sunflower seeds
¼ cup of macadamia nuts
¼ cup of almonds
1 tbsp. ground flaxseed (3 tbsp. water)
1 tbsp. coconut oil (melted) or olive oil
2 tbsp. filtered water
 
Directions
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and combine until it forms a slightly sticky crust – grease a pie tin with coconut oil or olive oil and then press the pie crust into the tin
Preheat oven to 175C and bake for 12-15 minutes, remove and fill with pumpkin pie mixture
