This is very easy original pumpkin pie recipe with frozen puff pastry. It only takes 5 active minutes and total of 25 min to make this dessert, appetizer, Halloween or Thanksgiving delight. We also use the same filling for our pumpkin pie filo dough recipe.
It is made with pumpkin puree (great source of vitamin A) and seeds (great source of healthy fats) The only sweetener in this recipe is honey. I use a variety of seeds to boost the nutrition such as hemp seeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, brown, hemp seeds, and golden flax seeds.

Notes
- I grind all types of seeds ahead of time and store in air tight container for several days. I use the seeds in many recipes such as breads, pancakes, muffins, etc. It is easier and quicker to grind more seeds at one time versus every time I need them for a recipe.
- You can buy already ground seeds at the store too if you don’t have a tool to grind them yourself or want to save time. I don’t grind the hemp seeds.
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice can be substituted for the ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves
- For even healthier recipe, you can make your own pumpkin puree from a pumpkin. Bake the pumpkin, and then puree the flesh.
- These are the seeds I use: hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, brown flax seeds, golden flax seeds and chia seeds.
- We are extremely excited to announce we are now using the saferecipeguide.org guidelines to make our recipe safe-friendly. We will slowly be incorporating the safe recipe guidelines into our recipe instructions!
