Yup, like this. Then blend um up. Add the coconut oil or melted butter and wiz it all up.
- 32 chocolate cookies (I used one package of Newman O’s Wheat Free, filling discarded)
- ½ cup toasted pecan pieces
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted (or melted butter)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
- ½ cup creamy natural peanut butter
- ½ cup granulated Stevia (or sugar of choice)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- ½ tsp. allspice
- ¼ tsp. nutmeg
- ¼ tsp. mace
- 1 Tbs. creamy natural peanut butter
- ¼ tsp. cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the cookies and the pecans in the bowl of your food processor (I used the mini-bowl attachment and the mini multipurpose blade) and pulse until they are a fine crumble. Add the coconut oil and pulse until combined. Pour the crust mixture into your pie dish and use your fingers to press the crust into the pie pan and up around the edges. Bake the crust for 15 min or until the middle is dry to the touch. Let the crust cool on a wire rack while you prepare the filling.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs and the Stevia. Whisk until they are well combined. Then, add the milk, vanilla, peanut butter, and pumpkin puree. Carefully stir until completely combined. Finally, add the salt and spices and mix together. Pour the filling into the pie crust, being careful to only fill up to the edge of the crust (if you have extra, put it in a small ramekin to bake, crustless!). Bake the pie for 45-50 min or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the pie cool before applying the peanut butter drizzle. Put the peanut butter in a small ramekin and microwave for 10-15 seconds until the peanut butter becomes slightly warm and easy to stir. Stir in the cinnamon. Put the mixture into a small Ziplock bag, snip off the tip, and drizzle the peanut butter over the top of the pie!
- Cut it up, serve it up, and enjoy!

“one package of Newman O’s Wheat Free, filling discarded” <- Filling discarded?! BLASPHEMY!!!! Girl, you will burn in cookie hell for saying that! Lol And speaking of hell, how the HELL did I miss this?!! The title alone pulls at every fiber of my pumpkin-lovin' being…I don't care if it IS JULY…this shit needs to happen ASAP! And when I say ASAP I mean whenever I feel I can trust myself not to eat the entire friggin thing in one sitting…you think I'm kidding…I wish I were!
