Prep Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 3 hours 45 minutes

Ingredients:

For the crust:

  • Cooking spray

  • 1 1/2 c. pecans

  • 2/3 c. old fashioned oats

  • 3 tbsp. packed brown sugar

  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt

  • 3 tbsp. coconut oil, melted and cooled

For the filling:

  • 1 (15-oz.) can pumpkin puree

  • 1 c. coconut milk

  • 3/4 c. packed brown sugar

  • 2 tbsp. cornstarch

  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Directions:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°. Grease a 9” pie plate with cooking spray.
