Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups Oat flour (Pulse rolled oats in a blender or food processor until you create a flour-like consistency.)
  • 1/2 cup Plain, unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tsp coconut oil, melted
  • 15 oz Pumpkin Puree, plain and unsweetened (one can)
  • 1/2 tbsp Blackstrap Molasses
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Ground ginger
  • 8 oz Plain, unsweetened Greek Yogurt to top (Optional)

Equipment

  • Muffin pan (regular or mini)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Mix the oat flour, applesauce, and coconut oil together until a nice dough ball forms. You might need to use your hands to get it to all stick together. If the dough is too crumbly, add a little water. NOTE: the dough will be tough. This is fine.
  3. Divide the dough into equal sized pieces and roll into a ball. Press each ball into the well of a muffin pan to create your crust. Use your fingers and thumb to press into the corners so that you create a small bowl shape. NOTE: The crusts don't need to be thick, but make sure they hold together. They also don't need to go all the way up the muffin well. Think of a tart crust!
  4. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until crusts are firm and just starting to brown. Remove from oven and let cool fully.
  5. Meanwhile, combine pumpkin puree, molasses, cinnamon, and ginger until thoroughly mixed.
  6. Once the crusts have cooled, carefully remove them from the muffin pan and divide the pumpkin filling among them. If you have leftover filling, you can stuff a toy like a classic kong and freeze for another holiday treat!
  7. Top each pie with a small dollop of yogurt (or fresh whipped cream for an extra special treat) and serve!
Storage
  1. These will keep for about 1 week in your fridge, or up to a couple of months in the freezer! You can serve as a frozen treat, or thaw fully. Don't top with yogurt until you are ready to serve.
