Perfect for fall, winter and Thanksgiving weekend!
This pecan, pumpkin pie went over well at my family dinner of 30!
If you are looking for a healthier alternative to pumpkin pie, this is it! We cut out the flour, eggs, milk, butter and sugar! Using the natural sweetness of dates and maple syrup, it will still satisfy your sweet tooth.
My aunt, who is always making dinner for the family, is celiac. She never even makes something she can eat! but she got to eat this one!
