Niki's Creamy Pumpkin Pie with Pecan Crust

[Oh.2.B.Fit]

With Fall right around the corner I thought I'd try to make a Pumpkin Pie I made this crust before, but Michael was allergic to the flaxseed meal so I didn't use it and it turned out great without it. I fiddled around with the pumpkin pie filling and it was really nice too. Anyways, here it is...ENJOY!!!

oohh...that looks yummy!

I'm so not able to eat any nuts, but I like your filling recipe, though. I think I'll have to try it with a flax seed crust recipe later on down the road.

Thanks for sharing!

Re: Niki's Creamy Pumpkin Pie with Pecan Crust

I made this for Thanksgiving and LOVED it. In fact my whole family LOVED it. I couldn't find almound flour so I used ground pecans and the crust was a bit salty, but in a good way. I also used a 10 inch pie pan to spread out the carbs a little more. I will be making it again tonight for a staff brunch tomorrow. Thanks so much I enjoy your reciepes.
