Clean Pumpkin Pie with a grain-free base of pecan nuts and a delicate cinammon and ginger touch. Taste it as a family!
One of our favourite season is autumn, because we can create so many different cakes and pies with healthy ingredients and the pumpkin pie is in our top 5!
We use hikkodo pumpkin, it has a lot of benefits for our health, below some of them:
– Rich in vitamins and contains minerals such as: calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, beta-carotene and vitamins A, B, C.
– Helps to heal diseases of the stomach pancreas and spleen, but it also helps ease disorders of kidneys and heart problems.
– Has diuretic effects
For this pie you need pumpkin pure. We recommend you to prepare it yourself. It is very easy and more tasty as it does not have preservatives or any additives. We will explain the process bellow 🙂 .
This pie is perfect for kids, rich in nutrients that gives them energy without spiking the blood sugar, as we use dates that is a natural sugar and is our favourite sweetener.
