This recipe is inspired by a conversation I had with my daughter the other day about holiday desserts…
She wondered if it was still the season to eat pumpkin pie. Indeed, it is! Pumpkin pie should (in my opinion) be an everyday food.
Did you know that pumpkin pie is a rich source of Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, as well as potassium and iron? These are nutrients which help our digestion, immune system and our mood? A win-win in my book!
Here is a recipe which also has calcium from Greek yogurt, a mineral often in short supply in our diets and essential for bone health!
Ingredients
- 1 c granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 large eggs
- 15 oz pumpkin purée
- 1 c Greek Yogurt, plain

- Beat eggs lightly in large bowl.
- Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture.
- Gradually stir in yogurt.
- Pour into pie shell.
- Bake for 55 minutes at 375° or until knife inserted near center comes out clean.
