Ingredients

For the Pumpkin Pie Filling

1 can (15 oz) pumpkin purée
1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
2 large eggs
½ cup vanilla protein powder
⅓ cup granulated monk fruit sweetener (or preferred sweetener)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsweetened almond milk

Ingredient Notes

Pumpkin Purée

Always use 100% pure pumpkin purée instead of pumpkin pie filling. It provides natural sweetness, fiber, and a creamy texture without added sugar.

Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt adds protein while creating an incredibly smooth and creamy filling.

Vanilla Protein Powder

Choose a high-quality protein powder that blends well without becoming gritty. Vanilla complements the pumpkin spices beautifully.

Pumpkin Pie Spice

This warm spice blend combines cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg to create the classic fall flavor everyone loves.

Monk Fruit Sweetener

A sugar-free sweetener keeps the pie lower in carbs while maintaining delicious sweetness.

Why These Ingredients Work

Every ingredient has a purpose. Pumpkin purée creates the signature silky texture, Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein, while eggs help the filling set perfectly during baking. Protein powder boosts nutrition without sacrificing flavor, and the blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and pumpkin pie spice delivers the comforting aroma associated with homemade pumpkin pie.

Together, these wholesome ingredients produce a dessert that’s rich, satisfying, and much lighter than a traditional pie.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together:

Pumpkin purée
Greek yogurt
Eggs
Vanilla extract
Almond milk

Whisk until smooth, creamy, and completely combined.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

Add:

Vanilla protein powder
Monk fruit sweetener
Pumpkin pie spice
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Ginger
Salt

Continue whisking until no lumps remain. The batter should be silky and pourable.

Step 4: Pour into the Pie Dish

Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish.

Use a spatula to smooth the top.

Tap the dish gently on the counter to remove any trapped air bubbles.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has just a slight jiggle.

The pie will continue to firm up as it cools.

Your kitchen will fill with the warm, comforting aroma of cinnamon, pumpkin, and vanilla.

Step 6: Cool Completely

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes.

Transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours.

Chilling gives the filling its rich, creamy, custard-like texture.

Step 7: Garnish

Before serving, top each slice with:

Sugar-free whipped cream
A sprinkle of cinnamon
Chopped pecans or walnuts

These simple toppings make the pie look bakery-worthy while adding delicious texture.

Serving Suggestions

This Protein Creamy Crustless Pumpkin Pie is delicious:

As a healthy holiday dessert
With a cup of hot coffee
Alongside chai tea
After a high-protein dinner
As a meal-prep breakfast
With Greek yogurt for extra protein
Topped with fresh berries
Served chilled on warm autumn afternoons

Because it’s lighter than traditional pumpkin pie, it’s also a wonderful afternoon snack.

Pro Tips & Variations

For an even creamier texture, blend all the ingredients in a blender before baking. If you enjoy extra spice, add a pinch of cloves or allspice to the filling. Chocolate protein powder creates a fun fall twist, while maple-flavored protein powder gives the pie a cozy seasonal flavor.

Want even more protein? Stir in a few tablespoons of cottage cheese before blending. For added crunch, sprinkle chopped pecans over the top before serving. If you’re making this for the holidays, prepare it a day in advance—the flavors become even richer after chilling overnight.
