Jaye's Pumpkin Pie

This recipe comes from my Aunt Yerra's friend, Jaye. It's a relatively healthy pumpkin pie; not too sweet, and not too spicy. The nutty crust is a nice touch.

Pie crust:

• 3/4 cup finely ground nuts + seeds (I used almonds, walnuts, pecans)
• 1/2 cup cookie crumbs
• 1 TBSP whole wheat flour
• 2 TBSP oil or butter
• 1 TBSP honey

Filling:

• 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup molasses + 2 TBSP honey or maple syrup
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 450F

Combine pie crust ingredients, press into a 9" pie pan, and chill.

Beat filling ingredients, pour into crust.

Bake for 15 minutes at 450F, then reduce heat to 350F and bake for 40 minutes.
