It’s still pumpkin season which means I am trying to include any pumpkin related recipe in my kitchen right now. I am also currently eating low carb and trying to kick my sugar habit so I am being especially careful with what I’m preparing.
My mom sent me this recipe on Pinterest and I took a look at it and thought, “Not in my kitchen.” But, the recipe was short and sweet so I immediately thought I’d give it a whirl and convert the recipe into Paleo.
Not only did I convert it to Paleo, I also kind of converted it to low carb too by using Monk Fruit sweetener. #winning
I was/am thrilled will how it turned out and wouldn’t change a thing about it when I make it again! I served it to my friends on our monthly ladies’ night and it was a hit!

Are you ready for how easy this is?
Preheat the oven to 350* F.
Mix all of the pumpkin pie ingredients together and pour into a greased 9x13” baking dish.
Mix all of the cake ingredients together (excluding the coconut oil and nuts) and sprinkle the cake evenly over the pumpkin pie. Pour the melted coconut oil evenly over the top and then sprinkle the nuts evenly over the cake.
Bake for 1 hour.
I told you it was easy!
It’s like a light pumpkin pie with a tasty something that’s not crust on the top. I don’t know how to explain it, but it.is.good.
So…what to do if you do not have or want to buy monk fruit sweetener? You can use: coconut sugar, honey, regular sugar, or brown sugar. Whatever suits your dietary preference. ;)
