Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie

Yep I’m back on my gluten-free baking kick y’all! It’s like my family gains a new gluten-free member every year so I’ve been forced to up my gluten-free baking game! It’s a fun challenge. I’ve actually made quite a few gluten-free dessert recipes so I’ll be sharing those over the next few months.

Everybody knows the best pumpkin pie starts with a bangin (yes I still say that word) pie crust!  This gluten-free pie crust is fabulous! Now it did take a few tries to get the flavor right. This may have been because I ran out of my favorite gluten-free flour (Pamela’s) and so I had to bake with King Arthur gluten-free flour (not my fav).

It turned out great though! The mean ol critic (husband) said it was delicious and that I HAD to post it.  Actually he said  ” This taste just like regular pumpkin pie and regular pie crust. Screw Pamela’s I like this one better” Sorry Pamela.  You’re still my go-to boo.

When it comes to gluten-free baking, one thing I’ve learned is that you gotta bring in moisture and flavor at every chance ya get! This gluten-free pie crust harnesses the power of real butter and butter-flavored shortening to give it that buttery flavor and flaky texture. I don’t normally add brown sugar and almond milk to my pie crusts but it really helps bring in some moisture and a tad of flavor.

The pumpkin pie filling is a true southern classic! There are a few untraditional ingredients added to the filling to make it all kinds of yum like melted butter, vanilla extract and half n half. Yeah. I’m not messing around people. This gluten-free pumpkin pie is taking no prisoners!

Watch me make this gluten free pumpkin pie from start to finish!
