  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp. coconut flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon

  • Next, transfer dough into a 8x8 inch deep baking tray lined with parchment paper hanging over the edges to allow for easy removal.
  • Press in dough so it covers the entire bottom evenly. Using a fork press in holes into the dough to prevent it from rising while baking. Bake in the oven for 10 min until slightly golden and crispy.
  • For the filling mix together all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl with a whisk until well combined.
