With this being Alistaire’s first “eating” of Thanksgiving I played with my go-to Pumpkin Pie – Simple & Delicious Pumpkin Pie – and made it egg-free so he could enjoy it as well. I pondered on what substitute to use, and decided on Ener-G replacer, as it produces a light texture, and would bind the pumpkin, where as flax-seed would make it heavier.
Just as delicious as the original version! Would have been even better if Walker hadn’t stuck his finger in the top while it was cooling…lol!

Ingredients:
- 15 ounce can Organic Pumpkin
- 14 ounce can or bottle organic sweetened condensed milk (Trader Joe’s)

- 9″ unbaked frozen pie crust, thawed (regular or gluten-free)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425°.
Whisk the Ener-G powder and water together in a bowl, set aside for 5 minutes.
Whisk the pumpkin, milk, and spice together in a large mixing bowl until smooth, whisk in Ener-G mixture.

Have a good Thanksgiving weekend! I will be taking Thursday through Sunday off – back on Monday with some great new ideas I have been working on 😀
