The holiday season brings a treasure trove of sweet temptations, and what's more classic than the beloved pumpkin pie? This year, give your festive dessert a protein-packed makeover with our Protein Pumpkin Pie. 

 

It's a healthier version of the traditional favorite, with the added benefits of whey protein to support your fitness journey. This pie is a nod to the holiday tradition and a smart choice for those looking to maintain their protein intake without missing out on the Christmas cheer.

 

 

Ingredients:

 

  • 1 ready-to-bake whole wheat pie crust (9-inch)
  • 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup whey protein powder (vanilla or pumpkin spice latte)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Whipped cream for serving (optional)

 

 

Instructions:

 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the whole wheat pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges for a decorative touch.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and brown sugar. Add the whey protein powder and mix until well incorporated.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully integrated before adding the next.
  • Gradually stir in the almond milk, followed by the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and well combined.
  • Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
  • Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 40-45 minutes until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted near the center part comes out all-clean.
  • Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. This will give the pie time to set completely.
  • Serve the pie at room temperature or chilled, with a dollop of whipped cream on top if desired.

 

 

This Protein Pumpkin Pie is a delightful way to close any Christmas feast. It's a dessert that won't leave you feeling guilty about indulging. Adding whey protein transforms this holiday staple into a treat that supports your wellness and fitness goals.
