Level of Difficulty	Medium

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, blended into oat flour
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar or maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 cup melted salted butter
• 4 tablespoons cold water (add more if necessary)
• 1 1/2 cups pumpkin or squash puree (one 15 oz can)
• 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder or tapioca starch
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon allspice
• Pinch of ground cloves

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

1. In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, brown sugar or maple syrup, and sea salt.
2. Add the melted butter and mix until the ingredients are well combined.
3. Gradually add the cold water, mixing until the dough holds its shape. You may need to add more water if necessary.

Step 2: Form the Crust

1. Press the crust dough evenly into a 9-10″ pie plate, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides.
2. Place the pie plate in the refrigerator and chill for at least 20 minutes to firm up the crust.

Step 3: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the crust chills.

Step 4: Prepare the Pumpkin Filling

1. In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, arrowroot powder or tapioca starch, eggs, and maple syrup.
2. Add the cinnamon, ginger, sea salt, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves.
3. Mix everything together until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 5: Assemble the Pie

1. Once the crust is chilled and the oven is preheated, pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared crust.
2. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.

Step 6: Bake the Pie

1. Place the pie in the preheated oven.
2. Bake for 45-60 minutes. The edges should be set, but the middle may still look slightly unset. It will firm up as it cools.

Step 7: Cool the Pie

1. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. This helps the filling set properly.

Step 8: Serve

Once cooled, serve the pie slices with a dollop of whipped cream or any topping of your choice.
