Easy Vegan Pumpkin Pie Recipe (It’s Gluten-Free, Too!)

Vegan Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie

yield: 10 SERVINGS

prep time: 30 MINUTES

cook time: 60 MINUTES

total time: 1 HOUR 30 MINUTES

Ingredients

For the Pie Crust:

  • 1 and 1/2 cups all purpose gluten-free flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons cold vegan butter (such as Earth Balance)
  • 1 tablespoon organic cane sugar
  • 3-4 tablespoons cold water

For the Pie Filling:

  • 15 oz. pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup organic brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk - from the can
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1

For the pie crust: In a mixing bowl, whisk the gluten-free flour and salt together. Add the vegan butter, and use a pastry cutter to cut in the butter until you get a crumbly texture.

2

Add in a tablespoon of water at a time until you can form a dough. The less water the better, and don't overmix. Form dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes at least so it'll be super cold. Meanwhile, mix the filling.

3

For the Pie Filling: Combine all the pie filling ingredients into a mixing bowl, and mix up using a handheld mixer until the filling is well combined.

4

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees, and grease a pie pan with vegan butter or coconut oil.

5

Roll the ball of pie dough between two pieces of parchment paper into a circle using a rolling pin. Lift off the top piece of paper and flip the other side over the pie pan. Remove the other paper sheet, and press the dough around the pan using your hands.

6

Pour the filling over the pie dough, and spread it evenly. Bake for about 60 minutes until the middle is cooked (it may be slightly jiggly) and the crust is slightly browned.

7

Let cool completely. Place the pie into the fridge and let set for at least 4 hours (overnight is best). Serve with non-dairy whipped topping if desired.

This homemade pumpkin pie recipe is delicious even without the dairy and gluten!

If you’re in the mood for a yummy pumpkin pie and would like it to be vegan and gluten-free, listen up! I just made a delicious homemade pie that fits that criteria and it’s absolutely yummy!

It’s also fairly simple to make (read: not as difficult as you’d think). With a can of pumpkin puree and a few flour and dairy substitutions, you’ll be on your way to enjoying a homemade slice of pie in no time!

Hip recipe tips for making vegan pumpkin pie:


  • If you have a pastry cutter, use that to incorporate the cold, vegan butter. If not, try using a fork to cut through the butter and flour mixture. The key is to not overwork the dough.
  • You’ll need parchment paper to roll out pie dough. This gluten-free dough is a little on the sticky side, so you’ll want to roll it out between two pieces of parchment paper for ease.
  • Try using unsweetened coconut milk in the pie filling. I bought the kind in the can, and it made a great pumpkin pie. You can also use almond milk instead.
  • Don’t forget the vegan-friendly whipped cream! I bought a container of Tru Whip Vegan. It can be found in the frozen foods section in a tub next to the Cool Whip, and it’s excellent! Alternatively, you could whip up some full-fat coconut whipped cream from a can instead.

Don’t feel like buying specialty ingredients or making a from-scratch crust?

Grab a store-bought gluten-free and vegan pie crust in a pinch! I made a second pie filling recipe and poured it into a Wholly Wholesome brand pie crust I found in the freezer section. It was priced at just under $6 for 2 crusts, which I thought was a nice value, too. Taste-wise, it was good, however, I still preferred my homemade crust (it is buttery-tasting and denser)!

  8. Laura

    I was able to use my regular pumpkin pie recipe and substitute Carnation’s dairy free baking milk for evaporated milk (almond based). No one could tell the difference. Thanks for the gf crust recipe. It’s so hard having milk and coconut allergies in our house when everyone’s substitute for milk and cream seems to be coconut.

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Oh nice – I’ll have to try that type of milk next time! Yes, I think you’ll like that crust 👍 thanks Laura!

    • Ginger

      What is cooking milk? How is this different from regular almond, oat, etc. milk?

  9. anom

    Could I substitute the coconut milk for soy milk? My son has allergies to dairy, eggs and all nuts so almond milk is out and allergic to coconuts too. Any ideas?

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Yes I think that sounds like a good sub.
