Everything you love about pumpkin pie, but gluten-free, vegan, allergy-free, and none of the work! This is the Healthiest Crustless Pumpkin Pie around! So healthy, this dessert recipe may just be your next breakfast too!
***This post has been updated in October 2016. Original writing stands***
Thanksgiving is T-minus 24 hours! (Maybe less, depending on when you are reading this). Are you excited?
T-Day used to be my favorite holiday when I was younger, but now, not so much. I do love that it gives me an excuse to go cooking and baking crazy, though 😉
Even though I am sticking with my traditional T-Day dishes this year, I still looked forward to doing all the cooking. Being in the kitchen all day just leaves me feeling super accomplished, at peace and, relaxed. I love cooking…and food!
You all know my stance on cooks vs. bakers. But for the perfect T-Day dessert you just have to bake, and I don’t mind because this is one killer baking recipe. It is so healthy you could eat it for breakfast all by yourself, really! Crustless, gluten-free, vegan, allergy-free. This pumpkin pie is almost like a pudding. It is so delicious!
After you are nice and full from your T-Day dinner, you can look forward to a light and healthy dessert. This “pie” with its “custard/pudding” like texture and flavor hits the spot like no other.
Who doesn’t love pumpkin, loads of cinnamon, and perhaps a dollop of vegan marshmallow fluff? Simply baked and cooled, there is no fuss and no mess of trying to make a pie crust! Just grease a non-stick cake pan, pour in your pie batter of pumpkin and a hint of flour, and you’re minutes away from delicious “decadence”!

Stacie says
Hi, what can I use in place of physlium husk powder
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
You can use 1 tsp of Ener-G Egg replacer or other commercial egg-replacer powder.
Laurie says
Trying to make this lower carb for my son. Could you use almond flour in place of the GF flour?
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I’m sure it would work, but I have not tried that myself.
Elizabeth says
Rebecca,
I absolutely ADORE your site. Your recipes are so delicious and really awesome at catering to different lifestyles- I love it! I have a whole pantry full of canned pumpkin and I happened to stumble across this gem of a recipe…. Do you think I could use vegan protein powder in place/in addition to the flour? Or would I have to change ratios? Vegan baking is not my strong suit at all, so I would have no idea what to do. Let me know if you have any thoughts, considering I know you use protein powders in some of your other recipes! 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I never bake with protein powder in large amounts…I actually have never “baked” with it. You may need to work on the baking powder ratio. But since this isn’t a really flour reliant recipe, I’m sure it would work.
Brittany @ The Pistachio Project says
Looks great!!! I LOVE Thanksgiving and can’t wait!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Haha this is my Thanksgiving specialty!
gastronomiette says
How does it slice? It looks lovely 🙂
strengthandsunshine says
Just cut with a knife and lift it out with a cake/pie server! Nothing special 🙂
GiGi Eats Celebrities says
I’ve always been curious about that EGG REPLACER – I think I need to bite the bullet and try it!
strengthandsunshine says
O it works really well! It really is the best brand out there to use.
Jen Avellaneda (@Jen_Avellaneda) says
Looks delicious! Love that it’s healthy too! Yum! Thanks for sharing at UNITE! ~ Jen
strengthandsunshine says
Thanks Jen! Not only that, but it is a total crowd pleaser!
Arita says
This looks delicious! Could it be possible to use egg & regular milk?
strengthandsunshine says
You could definitely use regular milk, but I don’t think a whole real egg would work.
Arita says
Thank you! Can’t wait to make it this weekend 🙂
strengthandsunshine says
Let me know how it goes! 🙂
Joanne T Ferguson (@mickeydownunder) says
G’day! Never used egg replacer, true!
Your recipe and photo sounds interesting!
Cheers! Joanne

It works fabulously! You could always use a bit of flax or chia as well.
tohercore says
I have never tried pumpkin pie either before (its not common at all here in Australia) I’ve alwyas wanted to though – I’ll have to give this a try 🙂
strengthandsunshine says
Please do! If you like pumpkin, you will love it! Do you have a different traditional type of pie you eat in Australia or is pie just not a common dessert?
tohercore says
Not too common.. our national dessert dish is a pavlova, Im not sure if you have it at all in the States? Its meringue based with cream and fresh fruit. Its usually served on Christmas day!
Arman @ thebigmansworld says
you are a talent…now if only I could muster the desire to like pumpkin pie! Strange thing is, I love canned pumpkin mixed with protein powder, cereal and nuts…
Have a great Thanksgiving buddy- eat some sardine turkey for me!
strengthandsunshine says
This basically is just pumpkin puree.. .and cinnamon! I challenge you to try it!
Thank you Arman! Sardines 4 Life <3
Aurora@Fitness is Sweet says
I love crustless pumpkin pie. When it has an awesome filling, who needs crust??
strengthandsunshine says
Haha exactly! I remember being a little kid and justveatimg the filling to pie anyway! No one likes crust! 😛
Kaitlin says
I’m all in on the pumpkin pie train! Not sure when I actually started to love it but it’s been my favorite for a number of years 🙂
strengthandsunshine says
Its the best! But it has to be smooth, but the stringing kind or puree! That’s why I like this one so much. It is smooth or custard like!
Kierston @candyfit says
I don’t think I’ve ever had pumpkin pie before. I do like a lemon meringue pie though. Happy holidays!
strengthandsunshine says
O MY GOODNESS! You have never had Pumpkin Pie?! That’s crazy! Try this one! It is not traditional but it is damn good 😉
jessielovestorun says
Top this pumpkin pie with some whip cream & you got a winner 🙂 🙂
strengthandsunshine says
Like I said in the post, I’ve used some vegan rice whip and it was pretty awesome! But I like it plain the best 😉
