Vegan Pumpkin Pie – Yes, It’s Delicious! By Julie Lanford MPH, RD, LDN  I made this recipe at Thanksgiving last week. I’m not really a pumpkin pie person, but I feel like it’s necessary to have it at Thanksgiving just because it’s tradition. I went to share the recipe with someone and couldn’t find it anywhere on my website. Apparently, I never posted it! I figure… better late than never. : – ) Originally this was one of Chef Malena’s creations. I’m still sad she moved away to DC because she was so fun and creative! She did it for our cooking workshop a year ago as sweet potato pie. I basically substituted the pumpkin for sweet potato in her recipe and it turned out great. Since I’m not a huge traditional pie crust person, I bought a graham cracker crust from the grocery store. Next time I might even try a chocolate graham cracker crust. This recipe uses flaxseed meal as the egg substitute, which is pretty cool! You just need to soak the flax in warm water for 15 minutes or so before you mix it in. Flax is a great way to add extra plant nutrients. Read about the nutritional benefits of pumpkin here! Read about the nutritional benefits of flax here!
