Crust Ingredient
- 1 cup almond flour packed
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 Tbs raw sugar
- 1 Tbs flax meal
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted and cooled
Filling Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour packed
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 tbs raw sugar
- 1 tbs flax meal
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted and cooled
Prep
Melt the coconut oil and allow to cool.
Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease an 8x8 baking dish.
To make the crust, combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and using your hands, mix until evenly blended.
Transfer the dough to the baking dish and spread into an even layer, about 1/4" thick.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until edges start to turn slightly brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
While the crust is baking, assemble the pumpkin filling.
Make
Roughly chop pecans.
In a large mixing bowl or an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, combine all filling ingredients --except for the pecans. Mix until mixture is smooth and slightly fluffy, about 4 minutes.
Pour the pumpkin mixture over the crust and shake a little to spread it evenly in the pan. Top with chopped pecans. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is no longer giggly. Remove from oven and allow to cool before serving.
