Instructions
Step 1
Start by making the crust: blend the rolled oats until they are finely ground. Combine the ground oats with the buckwheat flour in a bowl.
Next, prepare a puree of the dates by blending them with water. Add this date puree along with the vegetable oil to the dry ingredients.
Mix everything well until you obtain a dough. If you need to, grease a 22 cm (approximately 9 inch) pie tin with more oil. Press the dough into the tin, making sure to create edges along the sides.
Step 2
For the filling, place the roasted pumpkin, egg whites, dates, and chosen spices into a blender. Blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Now, carefully pour the pumpkin filling over the crust you just made. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) for 30 to 35 minutes.
Once done, allow it to cool before slicing. Enjoy this delicious pumpkin pie that is both aromatic and naturally sweetened, perfect for cozy fall days.
Servings
When it comes to serving this delightful pumpkin pie, the possibilities are endless! For a simple yet appealing presentation, consider sprinkling a light dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg over the top just before serving. Pair it with fluffy whipped coconut cream for a truly luscious experience. 🍦
Hosting a fall gathering? Slice the pie into neat wedges, and serve each piece with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or even a scoop of dairy-free ice cream for your vegan friends. Your guests will be raving about how good it tastes! 🎉
And for those who love a surprise crunch, sprinkle some pecans or walnuts on top for an extra layer of flavor and texture – a perfect complement to the smooth filling. Get creative and tailor the serving suggestions to your taste! Your cozy pumpkin pie is sure to steal the show! 🌟
Equipment
A good quality blender is essential for making the smooth pumpkin filling. Look for one that can handle both soft ingredients like cooked pumpkin and tougher items like oats.

Variations
If you're looking to customize this pumpkin pie recipe, here are some fantastic ideas! 💡
Gluten-Free Version: Replace the green buckwheat flour with almond flour or coconut flour to maintain that perfect crust without gluten. Just make sure to adjust the liquid as needed since coconut flour tends to absorb more moisture.
Vegan Option: For a fully plant-based pie, simply use flax eggs or chia seeds combined with water instead of regular eggs. This will keep the pie deliciously moist while still adhering to a vegan diet. 🌱
Faq
- What can I substitute for the green buckwheat flour?
You can use almond flour, coconut flour, or even gluten-free all-purpose flour as an alternative. Just make sure to adjust the ratio of liquid since different flours have varying absorptive properties.
- How can I ensure my pumpkin pie filling is smooth?
Make sure to blend the filling ingredients thoroughly in the blender until silky smooth. Scraping down the sides as needed will help achieve that perfect texture!
- Can I use canned pumpkin instead of fresh?
Absolutely! Canned pumpkin is a great time-saver. Just make sure to choose 100% pure pumpkin without added sugars or spices.
- How can I tell when my pumpkin pie is done baking?
The pie is ready when the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle. It will continue to firm up as it cools!
- If my pie crust is too crumbly, what can I do?
Add a little more water gradually until the dough holds together nicely. It’s important not to overwork the crust!
- What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Keep any leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can also freeze it for up to a month; just wrap well in plastic wrap before freezing.
