A guilt-free take on the classic pumpkin pie — rich in flavor, low in points. This simple, wholesome recipe gives you all the cozy autumn vibes without the sugar crash. Best part? You can eat the entire pie for just 4 points (according to your app)!
🕒 Quick Recipe Overview
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 50–60 minutes
- Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
- Yield: 1 pie (about 8 slices or one large serving 😉)
- Dietary Tags: 🍂 Low-Calorie | 💪 High-Protein | 🥛 Dairy-Light | 🥧 Crustless
🛒 Ingredients Checklist
(Measurements below are based on the classic version — feel free to adjust to taste!)
- 15 oz canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling!)
- 4 large eggs, slightly beaten
- ½ cup skim milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Optional: sweetener to taste (like Stevia, monk fruit, or 1–2 tbsp maple syrup)
🔪 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, eggs, milk, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until smooth.
- Taste the mixture. If you want added sweetness, mix in your sweetener of choice now.
- Pour mixture into a greased or nonstick 9-inch pie dish (no crust needed).
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife comes out mostly clean.
- Let cool completely before refrigerating for at least 2 hours — this helps the pie firm up.
- Slice and enjoy! Or don’t slice at all… we won’t judge 😄
💡 Additional Notes
- Make sure you’re using pure canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling. The filling is pre-sweetened and spiced, and will throw off the points.
- This pie is naturally crustless, which keeps it light and protein-packed.
- Chilling is key — the texture improves a lot after it’s cooled and set in the fridge.
🍽 Serving Suggestions & Variations
Flavor Twists:
- Add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth.
- Fold in 1–2 tbsp Greek yogurt for a creamier texture.
- Want a protein boost? Mix in a scoop of vanilla protein powder (adjust liquid slightly).
Topping Ideas (still low-point):
- A dollop of fat-free whipped cream
- Sprinkle of cinnamon
- Sugar-free maple syrup drizzle
- Crushed pecans (just a few!)
🧊 Storage & Meal Prep

❓ FAQs
Q: Can I use almond milk or oat milk instead of skim?
A: Yes, just make sure it’s unsweetened. It might slightly change the texture but works well.
Q: Can I add a crust?
A: Sure! A graham cracker or oat-based crust works great, but it will increase the points.
Q: What if I don’t have pumpkin pie spice?
A: Mix ½ tsp cinnamon + ¼ tsp ginger + ⅛ tsp nutmeg + ⅛ tsp cloves as a homemade blend.
📖 Why I Love This Recipe
I make this pumpkin pie every 4 days — no exaggeration. It’s that good and that easy. Whether you’re on a plan, watching calories, or just love pumpkin everything, this pie checks all the boxes. It’s creamy, cozy, satisfying, and leaves room for more treats later in the day.
It’s also one of those recipes that feels like dessert but doesn’t wreck your goals. I usually top it with a little whipped cream and enjoy it straight from the fridge. Cold, creamy pumpkin pie is so underrated!
