Clean Crustless Pumpkin Pie




I admit it. I'm on a pie kick. God help me.

Why do we reserve pumpkin pie for the holidays? It’s such a great dish for any time of year, and it is so simple to make. Healthy, too, if made with real and clean ingredients.

Pumpkins are a powerhouse of healthy benefits. They are great for your immune system and for your eyes. Not convinced? Here’s a whole list of benefits pumpkins bring to the table.

I love making crustless pumpkin pie on weeknights because it is extremely easy to whip up with ingredients already in the fridge, and there is little measuring and absolutely no cutting or chopping involved. It’s as simple as mix, pour, bake, and eat! You just need to make sure you pick up a couple cans of pumpkin at the store if it’s not a staple in your pantry.

Place the pie dish in the oven while you eat your main meal, and you’ll have a warm, cozy, and healthy dessert ready in only a short time.

Enjoy!
