Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray a pie pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, milk, maple syrup, eggs, bourbon, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, sift together coconut flour, arrowroot starch, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt.
  • Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until smooth.
  • Place chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 45 seconds. Remove from the microwave and stir. Continue to heat in 15 to 20 seconds intervals (stirring after each time) until the chocolate is melted.
  • Before adding batter to the pie pan, either fold melted chocolate into pumpkin batter or pour pumpkin batter into the pie pan and swirl melted chocolate on top.
  • Cover the pie with aluminum foil and bake for 50 minutes then uncover the pie and bake an additional 15 -20 minutes or until the edges are browned and the middle of the pie barely moves when you gently shake the pan back and forth. Remove pie from the oven.
  • Allow pie to cool for 30 minutes and serve warm with optional toppings or place pie in the refrigerator to chill for firmer texture.
  • Store the pie covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
