We all love holiday pies, but they are filled with eggs and dairy. Here is a no-compromises Thanksgiving vegan pumpkin pie recipe that is also gluten-free!
It Started with a Family Favorite
Years ago (I’m talking about 30 years) I tweaked a recipe for pumpkin pie from Yankee Magazine. It became a huge family favorite and the standard by which all pumpkin pies were judged. However, when we made the transition to a vegan diet, I knew that creating the taste and texture without eggs or cow’s milk to make a vegan pumpkin pie would be a real challenge.
Last year I was able to get the taste. Then, this year, much to my delight, and for Greg’s birthday pie, I was able to get the texture right. This time I used a gluten-free crust but will also share a fool-proof vegan pie crust in case you want a more traditional crust.
Vegan Pumpkin Pie with all the flavor of the season!
We like our pies with a lot of flavor and spice and this one is no different. It has plenty of the wonderful spices associated with this time of year (at least in North America).
I am delighted to share this recipe for vegan pumpkin pie. Enjoy it. Enjoy the season.

Today we are sharing a recipe that we have been enjoying quite a bit recently.…

OMG! Thank you for having a gluten free option for pie crust. I have had to avoid a lot of things since finding out I’m a celiac. This will make a huge difference in my culinary life!
Hi Debbie!
You can simply use agar in the same quantity. I actually have run out and done that very thing – it works just as well (and we’re changing the recipe to just be agar).

Wonderful! We are so delighted to hear this – please let us know how you like it. 🙂
Peace, Georgia & Greg
I want to try making your pumpkin pie but I only have agar agar. Can you tell me what the conversion would be using agar agar instead of super agar?

I’m so glad that you’re trying the pie! 🙂
