Introduction

I have been looking for recipes to make our old favorites work in our new Paleo lifestyle. I was never one for crusts on my pumpkin pie but my husband was. I have made this recipe with coconut crust or an almond crust on the bottom. But I found the almonds on the top saved time and didn't miss the crust. We have this for breakfast with celery and almond butter for a great start to the day meal. Love it. I have been looking for recipes to make our old favorites work in our new Paleo lifestyle.

Ingredients

    Libby's pumpkin- 15 oz can 100% pure
    Coconut milk-13.5 oz can
    Turbinado sugar-1/2 cup
    3 large eggs
    almonds-1/2 cup ground coarsely or slivered
    chia seeds - 1/4 cup (optional) great nutritionally
    cinnamon- 1 tbs
    cloves- 1/2 tea
    ginger- 1 tea

    salt- 1 tea

    * You can substitute two teaspoons of Pumpkin Pie Spice for all of the spices.

Tips

This is gluten free and Paleo if this is a concern to you. Also lactose free. I added the Chia seeds to make it more nutritional.

I hope you enjoy this as much as our family and friends do


Directions

Mix all of the ingredient together but the almonds. Put those on the top of your custard just before putting in the oven.

Grease a 7x11 pan or if you don't have that size a 8x8 will do. Just portion it out in 1/2 cup size. Put in 350 degree oven for 45 mins. Check to see if done with a knife in the center. Knife will be clean when you pull it out when it is done. This cooks well in a toaster oven if you have one.

Serving Size: 10- 1/2 cup servings
