This simple Paleo Pumpkin Pie is a classic Thanksgiving dessert for the whole family. Food allergies or not, it’s so good nobody will ever know it’s gluten-free and dairy-free!
Easiest Pumpkin Pie Ever
After receiving more requests for a Paleo Pumpkin Pie recipe than I could count, I had to set to create a recipe for you! This healthy Thanksgiving dessert will be the star at the end of your holiday meal. It took dozens of tests batches to perfect this quick and easy recipe for low-carb Pumpkin Pie. Better yet? It uses a mere 6 ingredients in its filling.
Paleo Pumpkin Pie with Canned Pumpkin
Another bonus? I made this gluten-free Pumpkin Pie with canned pumpkin. Yes, you heard that right, canned pumpkin. Why? Well, although I hadn’t used canned pumpkin in as long as I can remember, I heard your numerous requests for an easy dessert that uses…canned pumpkin.
Also Works with Fresh Roasted Pumpkin
After I perfected this recipe with canned pumpkin, I went ahead and tested it with homemade roasted pumpkin at the insistence of my older son. He wanted to make sure that you, my readers could make this low-carb Pumpkin Pie either way and was adamant that I test it both ways to ensure that it worked. The level of quality control in this house is incredibly high!
Paleo Pumpkin Pie
Ingredients
- 15 ounces canned pumpkin puree, or 1½ cups roasted pumpkin puree
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup full fat coconut milk
- ½ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- ⅛ teaspoon celtic sea salt
- 1 Low Carb Almond Flour Pie Crust, unbaked
Instructions
- In a food processor combine pumpkin puree and eggs
- Pulse in coconut milk, honey, pumpkin pie spice, and salt
- Pour filling into Low Carb Almond Flour Pie Crust
- Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes
- Allow to cool then refrigerate for 2 hours to set up
Equipment
For this Paleo Pumpkin Pie recipe, be sure to use the 23 cm (9 inch) pie dish. My crust looks so pretty because I pressed the Low-Carb Almond Flour Pie Crust dough up over the edges of the pie dish and then made little indentations with a fork. When I baked the Paleo Pumpkin Pie I covered the crust edge with a pie crust protector.
Kid Approved Paleo Pumpkin Pie
This gluten-free Thanksgiving dessert recipe is so simple that my son made it several times back when he was 15 years old. The result? Kid approved. His friends ate more of these Paleo Pumpkin Pies after school than you could imagine. They thought they were having a treat, while I knew I was loading them up with a healthy, highly nutritious dish full of protein and beta-carotene.

Low-Carb Paleo Pumpkin Recipes
Here are some of my other low-carb pumpkin dessert recipes:
This post is an oldie but goodie from the archives. I first shared this recipe in 2013.
Jennifer says
I am allergic to coconut. What can I substitute for coconut toil, coconut flour and coconut milk?
Thanks.
Pam says
Since this is a coconut-based dessert you should probably just look for a whole new recipe. I completely understand food allergies, but replacing all of the coconut ingredients in here is going to completely change the taste.
If you really want to try it out, the crust doesn’t involve coconut flour. Actually no part of the pie does so you don’t need to worry about that. For the coconut oil you could use grass-fed butter probably. If you read the comments on the crust recipe one of the commenters says that butter or grapeseed oil will work. And if you look above some of the suggestions in replace of the coconut milk is dairy milk or a nut milk but in probably smaller amounts since it would be thinner than the coconut.
Leave a comment back with what you try!

i am endlessly grateful to your son for insisting the recipe include homemade pumpkin (squash)! will certainly be putting this to good use over the next few weeks, maybe just for breakfasts as I have sooooo many butternut squashes (my preferred pumpkin if pumpkin is not on hand) from my farm share to use up!
Amy says
Thank You!!!! I am making this tomorrow!
Kati glock says
is there a good substitute for coconut milk/oil? my daughter is allergic but we are trying to make the switch to the paleo lifestyle and so many of the recipes call for it!! thank you!
Maddy says
Honestly there is not an equally good replacement for full fat coconut milk in recipes. It provides a texture unlike any other. Are you still going to incorporate dairy in your paleo diet? If so you could probably use full fat, grass-fed, organic, raw (or any combo thereof) milk. If cow’s milk is a problem perhaps goat?
In this recipe you might be able to get away with a nut milk though in slightly smaller quantities since it wouldn’t be so thick.
Kathleen says
Goat milk was perfect for this!
Candice White says
I just made it with Wallaby’s organic kefir and it seemed to work very well.
Marathon Mom says

Jacque Russell says

Maddy says
As Patricia said above, she gives you the pie crust link. It’s in the ingredients list. Just click on the “paleo pie crust” in green and it should take you there.
SamaraZ says
If you click on her recipe where it says 1 Paleo Pie Crust, it will link you to her recipe which is the one I use. It is good! you can also search her site for it.
Jackie P says

I just roasted and pureed a couple of pie pumpkins and have been looking for worthy recipes to try. This one is next.
