Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
¾ cup maple syrup or honey
1 cup Greek yogurt
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon salt
1 pre-made whole wheat pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Crust: Place the whole wheat pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan. Poke small holes in the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Mix Pumpkin Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup (or honey), Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Add Spices: Stir in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until everything is well mixed and smooth.
Pour Filling: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to firm up a bit more.
Chill (Optional): For a refreshing treat, chill the pie in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
Notes
Use fresh pumpkin puree for a richer flavor.
Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey.
Serve with whipped Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
