VeggieNerd: Vegan Pumpkin Pie (w) Whole Wheat Crust Recipe

Hello friends, Eric here bringing you another great VeggieNerd recipe. Since pumpkin pie already fits under the Vegetarian scope, I thought I'd make this one strictly vegan. Regardless if you're vegan, vegetarian, or neither I really hope you enjoy this video recipe.



Ingredients:

Crust
1/2 Cup - Un-Bleached Flour
7 tbs - Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 tsp - Salt
1/2 tsp - Baking Powder
1/2 tsp - Sugar
3 tbs - Canola oil
3 tbs - Soy Milk
1/2 tsp - Lemon Juice
3-4 tbs - Water

Filling
2 Cups - Pureed Pumpkin (Homemade, or canned)
1 Cup - Soy Milk
3/4 Cup - Sugar
1/4 Cup - Corn Startch
1/2 tbs - Dark Molasses (To taste)
1 tsp - Vanilla Extract
1 tsp - Ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp - Salt
1/2 tsp - Ground Ginger
1/4 tsp - Ground Nutmeg
1/4 tsp - Allspice

Hope you're having a great day!

Making the crust:
(If using a pre made crust, or a recipe of your own skip this section)

-Combine All dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl, and mix all liquid ingredients in a seperate bowl. 

-Pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients, mix this together with a fork untill dough forms a ball. (If it is too dry add a little bit of water until it's rollable) 

-Cover this, and let set in the fridge for about an hour. 

-Roll your dough on a lightly floured surface, with a lightly floured rolling pin. (This should roll out to an aprox 11" Circle. 

-Carefully line a 9" pie pan with resulting dough, removing extra dough from the edges. Once lined Crimp the edges with a fork. Wrap this in plastic wrap, and set in the fridge untill ready to fill. 

Now pre-heat your oven to 425°

Filling: 

-Combine all the filling ingredients, and mix until smooth.

-Pour filling into your prepared pie curst, and smooth out the top with a spoon. 

Optional:
-Use extra crust to add something special to your pie, such as a lattice, some leave, or I like to add a little heart shape to the center <3 

-Bake at 425° for 10 mins, then reduce heat to 350° and continue baking for an additional 50 mins. 

Let cool, then place in fridge to set. Enjoy!

    1. I'm not exactly sure how that would work out. I've never tried doing something like that before.
