Perfect Pumpkin Pie
Crust Ingredients:
1/2 cup unrefined coconut oil (melted)
4 oz The Cultured Kitchen Original Better Buttah (whipped dairy-free buttery spread)
1 cup coconut flour
2 tablespoons of Neat Egg (mixed with 4 tablespoons of water)*
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
*use preferred egg substitute or 2 eggs
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 F. Combine flour, melted coconut oil, Better Buttah, Neat Egg and water mixture (or eggs if using), and salt in a mixing bowl. Add additional coconut oil, Better Buttah, or warm water if needed to form pie crust into a ball. Grease a 9” pie dish with coconut oil. Press dough into pie dish. It does not roll out easily, so don’t try to roll it out. Place at least 4 fork marks in the crust before baking in the oven. Bake for 4 minutes and remove crust from oven temporarily until filling has been added.

2 & 1/2 tablespoons potato starch2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice (we used Frontier)*
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Place all pie filling ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Add more ingredients if desired to adjust the taste.
