Allulose Sweetened Pumpkin Pie

This Allulose and Date Sweetened Pumpkin Pie Filling is a delicious way to enjoy the pumpkin you love with less sugar, less fat! 1/8 of the filling is just 100 cal and has 3g protein, 3g fiber.  As for the crust, I love preparing a traditional pie crust. But if you prefer to keep it lower in fat, check my recipe (for the crust) for my No-Sugar-Added Harvest Pie.

I’m fond of Fall baking. And with October in tow, I got started with the pumpkin puree! The first test, I made with a basic pie crust recipe and my own, lower fat, less sugar version of Libby’s pumpkin pie. Since I had Keystone Pantry Allulose, I use that as a replacement for the sugar and just added a Tbsp date syrup for richer flavor. I’ve noticed that date syrup has a sort of Molasses appeal but much milder. So if I mix it into white sugar or a white sugar replacement, it will taste like brown sugar. And that is what I desired for this blend. With plenty of spice to make it nice, I think this pumpkin pie filling came out great.

Just in case you were wondering, Allulose is a rare found of natural sugar found in small quantities in dates, figs, raisin and wheat. A low calorie natural sweetener, it has 95% fewer calories than sugar. It has a low Glycemic Index and, because the body doesn’t recognize it as a source of carbohydrate, it has Zero Net Carbs!

Here’s my Recipe!

I did 2 trials, one of which my girls assisted. The pie above, I made, mostly for the consistency of the filling. And honestly, I can enjoy the filling on its own as shown in the ramekin (above). The Pie in the header was made by my girls, whom I’ve affectionately dubbed #twinsinthekitchen. They had such fun molding the dough just-so into the mini pie dish – so it would be thick and decorative just like their favorite bakery pie. I assisted, but they did most of the work. Creating my second trial of this low sugar, low-fat Allulose sweetened Pumpkin Pie. And of course, ate it all it!! 🙂

  1. Wow what a delicious recipe! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, I will must try to home. As a Nutritionist i can say this food is 100% healthy and nutritious.

    1. Thank you Selina. I’m really enjoying recipe testing and development using Allulose for my sweetener. : )

      1. What do you do to keep it from browning? I have noticed in baking allulose browns super fast and can become bitter

        1. I didn’t have a problem with the browning. Perhaps because I only used 2 Tbsp allulose per the whole recipe. I will be making again soon as pumpkin season is here and pay attention to that factor. Will keep you posted Rebecca.

  2. The ingredients list includes almond milk, but it is never mentioned in the recipe instructions. I ended up mixing it in after the egg. We’ll see how it turns out.

    1. Fixed – added it to the recipe instructions. Thank you. Let me know how it turns out – hope you enjoy! : )
