Over on Fit Bottomed Eats, we’ve been going on and on and ON about pumpkin. And with good reason: pumpkin is delicious! And nothing says “holiday season” like pumpkin pie. One of the most popular pie flavors out there, pumpkin pie is a staple on the Thanksgiving dinner table. But how healthy is that pumpkin pie? And what would you say if we had a recipe that made it even better for you, even incorporating more plant-based foods in that yummy traditional dessert?
Um, we’d say game on! And figure you would, too, which is why we’re sharing this amazeballs Pumpkin Spice Pie recipe that we got from our good peoples at Silk. Whip up some of this (we recommend using the seasonal Pumpkin Spice Soymilk as your milk in the below recipe for a double hit of pumpkin) and serve it with a glass of Silk Seasonal Nog (maybe spice it with a little rum …) and the holidays will be oh-so merry — and delightfully dairy-free and plant-powered!
