With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we’ve put our own twist on a beloved classic. Our Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie combines the cozy, spiced flavors of the season with a buttery, naturally gluten-free short crust infused with collagen for an extra boost for your gut, skin, and joints. The pumpkin filling is a great source of beta-carotene, supporting immune health and radiant skin. This dish is perfect for gathering loved ones around the table and celebrating this festive season.
In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, collagen protein (if using), and salt.
Rub in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add eggs and ice-cold water, then gently bring the dough together. Avoid overmixing.
Wrap in cling film and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Pumpkin Filling
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Roast the pumpkin for 30 minus, or until golden brown and tender, cool and blend in a high-powered blender
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, maple syrup, coconut sugar, xanthum gum, milk, spices, collagen protein (if using), and salt.
Fold in the mashed pumpkin until combined.
Assembling the pie
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Roll out the chilled pastry between two sheets of baking paper and line a 23–25 cm pie tin. Trim edges and prick base with a fork.
Pour in the pumpkin filling and smooth the top.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the filling is set and a skewer comes out clean.
Add the pumpkin filling, and bake for another 40 minutes.
Allow to cool and top with homemade ice cream/cream, a drizzle of maple syrup and toasted pecans.
Add your favourite toppings, we love homemade whipped cream, and ice cream!

Looks yum but can it be made with Almond flour? Also what is that topping at the end, just cream with Collagen added? Thanks ——— Chief Nutrition replied: Great question! We haven’t tested this recipe with almond flour yet, so we can’t guarantee the result. Almond flour behaves quite differently (it’s higher in fat and doesn’t have the same structure), so it doesn’t always swap 1:1 in recipes. That said, if you do try it, I’d love to hear how it turns out! Yes, the topping just cream with collagen added (you can use coconut cream or regular cream depending on preference). [image: :blush:]
