I need to provide a pumpkin pie type dessert fo rmy little guy forThanksgaiving. It’s one of the few foods he actually asks for. Cananybody help me? No eggs or soy either.
ALSO… I don’t use sugar much either. I’m open to any interpretationof pie. I’ve thought about using a nut crust (don’t know if my sonwill like it), a cookie crust, or making just the filling asa “custard.”
I was also wondering if I par-baked a Namaste cookie mix if thatwould work as a crust substitute?
I also thought about making it sort of “pudding style” and pouringthe filling over slices of rice or millet bread. I’m debating how toaddress that idea. May be brush a little honey and cinnemon on theslices before baking them? I don’t know.
This recipe below in its oringinal form is just AMAZING. It istypically served with whipped topping, but that is out, now. I havepartially adapted it, but I’m struggling with the items that havea “” next to them.
PUMPKIN PIE CAKE
4 eggs, slightly beaten (or 2 bananas)1 (16oz) can pumpkin 1 1/2 cups sugar (agave or honey? but how much?)2 tsp pumpkin pie spice1/2 tsp salt 1 can (12-13oz) evaporated milk (can I reduce rice milk?)1 box of yellow cake mix (I’ll probably use Namaste’s brand) 2 sticks butter or margarine melted (this is tough. I may forego it)1 cup chopped nuts
Mix first six ingredients in a bowl in the order listed. Pour into 9x 13 pan. Sprinkle cake mix over filling. Drizzle melted butter overcake mix. Sprinkle nuts over top. Bake at 350F for 60 minutes.

I found this recipe on pecanbread.com; I haven’t tried it yet, butthe only substitution you would have are for the eggs, maybe uselike the Ener-g egg replacer?
2 cups cooked pumpkin3/4 cup to 1 cup honey1/4 cup melted GFCF margarine4 tsp cinnamon1 tsp nutmeg1/2 tsp cloves2 egg yolks4 egg whites
1. Puree the pumpkin in the food processor2. Mix all ingredients except egg whites3. Beat egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff4. Fold egg whites into pumpkin mix5. Bake in a pie dish at 350 for appx. 50 minutes
This sounds great, my ASD daughter won’t touch pumpkin pie, but I’vebeen making pecanbread recipes for my diabetic husband and willdefinitely give this a shot next week… I hope you find somethingfor your little boy!
