Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie

 
Because, most everyone needs a bit of pie this time of the year.
Also, pumpkin pie is just too good to have to pass up as well.
 

Technically speaking, pumpkins do not have a whole lot of sugar in them by nature.
Once cup of cubed pumpkin has about three grams of sugar in it. However, when you buy pumpkin in a can, there could be sugar added to it.
 

Pumpkin Pie seems to be at every kind of great gathering this time of the year.

So, to miss out on some would be hard for me to do. Thus, we have this recipe for Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie.

Obviously, you will need a few ingredients for this recipe.
As mentioned, you will need pumpkin puree. If you do not make your own, you can buy some pumpkin puree online that does not have a lot of sugar added to it. You will also need some Pumpkin Pie Spice, which you can find online as well.

The ingredients for Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie

• Sugar Alternative- Equivalent to ½ cup of sugar. I like granular sugar alternative options for this recipe.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice- 1 ½ teaspoons.
• Eggs- 2 whipped.
• Pumpkin Puree - 1 ½ cup.
• Half and Half Creamer- 1 cup. We will use half and half instead of the usual evaporated milk in order to avoid the sugar. If necessary, you could boil down a cashew or similar milk down to a cup. I would actually use a bit less than a cup as it will be thinner than evaporated milk. Die hard pumpkin pie fans can certainly use the evaporated milk in this recipe and enjoy the sugar grams in it.
• Vanilla Extract- 1 teaspoon.

How to make Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie

 

• Preheat your oven to 350. A pie crust should be made in advance or you could go without a crust (I probably would not recommend it).
• In a mixing bowl, blend together the sugar alternative, pumpkin spice, egg and pumpkin puree.
• Stir in the half an half (or alternative of your choice as described above) and the vanilla extract.
• Pour this into your pie crust and bake for bake for 25-30 minutes. Tip: place a cookie sheet in the oven before you preheat it. Baking this pie on a baking sheet will help keep the crust from getting soggy.

Are you gearing up for holiday baking?

I always start out making a list of what I want to bake for every holiday. Then I have to get realistic as it takes a lot of time to bake these things and certainly, a lot of ingredients.

The worst thing about all of the holiday baking is that I love to eat everything.
Everything that I bake seems to turn out so delicious. In many ways, it is all really way too delicious.

My appetite is one reason why I enjoy the sugar free lifestyle.

I sometimes will add low carb lifestyle to this description as well. But also, I like the way that I feel when I do not have to deal with the ups and downs of sugar in my body. One minute I've got all of the energy in the world. The next minute, I am need a nap.

Sugar alternatives have certainly helped me with my diet.
People seem to be true to their alternatives of choice. However, I like to use specific sugar alternatives for certain circumstances as there is a difference in the way that the work in recipes.

There is a misconception that sugar alternatives can be used in a recipe just as you you use sugar.

Everyone knows that a sugar alternative can make something taste sweet to us without have the many effects that sugar does on the body. However, there is more to sugar alternatives then just taste.

Sugar alternatives are not chemically the same as sugar.
That chemical difference can be a big deal when it comes to recipes. There is a lot to learn if you are serious in baking with sugar alternatives. I have more in depth explanations about sugar alternatives in my book, The Sugar Free Baking Guide.
