No bake healthy butternut squash pie – vegan, gf

We hope you appreciate this no bake healthy butternut squash pie, because we had a hard time not eating the entire thing while making pictures. Tough life.

So you might remember, last year we made this butternut squash pie with a crumbly crust. We were in love with that pie, so creamy, so satisfying, but such a pain in the ass to bake.

This year, we've gotten older and lazier…ahem more productive.. and we decided to eat even healthier.

So now, we're not even baking the crusts. We just blend some nuts together, add some cinnamon, spread the whole thing in a spring form and call it a crust. (see what we did with our healthier low-carb cheesecake)

Then for the filling we just blend whatever we want and spread it over the crust. Finally we let the whole thing “bake” in the fridge for 5-6 hours. Mostly overnight.

And this is exactly what we did with this vegan and gluten-free (and we think paleo) butternut squash pie.

It turned out notable. So notable, that on the days we had it in our fridge we stopped myself several times from buying Oreo ice cream.

Don’t judge us, we eat clean for the rest of the day, but lately we've been eating a lot of Oreo ice cream. Even the fact that we feel sick after we eat one doesn’t stop us. Seriously, Oreo what kind of drugs besides sugar do you have in there?

Anyway. Not this guy. This guy is healthy and did we mention creamy? We feel like we haven’t said creamy enough. We thank that holy coconut cream and coconut oil for that creaminess and we thank cinnamon for the flavor.

Health and beauty benefits of this healthy butternut squash pie.

This “pie” actually has health benefits. Yeah. A dessert with health benefits (not like you, oreo ice cream, we hope you’re crying somewhere…).

This healthy pie is rich in omega-3’s, fiber, carotenoids, vitamin E and contains a ton more antioxidants that can make you feel good and even give you healthy complexion…You know what happens when you eat too much carotenoids? That’s right you get a nice orange glow…Welcome to the Jersey Shore…

In short: if you’re eating clean and don’t want to eat oreo ice cream – go for this butternut squash pie.

Yes, tomorrow we're making it again.

Here’s the printable recipe, so you can make it too.
