A Healthier Pumpkin Pie (Recipe)

Recipe for incorporating antioxidant-packed spices into one’s diet.

This year’s recipe came out of my need to find some way to incorporate cloves and cinnamon into my family’s diet.

Filling ingredients

  • One can of pumpkin,
  • about 10 ounces of silken tofu,
  • one to two dozen pitted dates, depending how sweet your sweet tooth is.
  • Then, you add in as much powdered cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg as you can stand.

Instructions

Blend it all together in a food processor, pour it in a whole wheat pie crust, bake at 350º for a half hour or so, and you have healthy pumpkin pie—it’s just fruit, vegetables, tofu, and, gram-for-gram, the most powerful antioxidant foods in the world.

The more pie you eat, the healthier you are.
