Are you ready for the easiest healthy pumpkin pie recipe EVER?!

I love making my yogurt cheesecake tortillas so I had to put a pumpkin twist on them: PROTEIN PUMPKIN PIE TORTILLAS!

This recipe has a few special ingredients that lighten it up from traditional pumpkin pie, yet they taste so delicious and indulgent. It’s high in protein, low in sugar and leaves you feeling light but so satisfied. You can eat them for a snack, breakfast or dessert- it’s so wholesome! We take lots of shortcuts here too, using a flour tortilla as our cheats pastry crust. The filling is made from greek yogurt, pumpkin puree and eggs, packing 16 grams of protein per serve. It’s basically a healthy creamy pumpkin pie cheesecake filling inside of a toasted tortilla! Serve with a little whipped cream and you are set!

Ingredients you’ll need:

You only need 7 ingredients to make these naturally high protein pumpkin pie tortillas! 

  • Pumpkin puree: Use 100% pure pumpkin puree for the ultimate pumpkin flavour. You can also make your own homemade pumpkin puree by blending cooked pumpkin until smooth.
  • Vanilla yogurt: Make sure to use a high protein vanilla greek yogurt like YoPro, Siggi’s or Chobani. If using plain yogurt add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • Egg: You’ll need 1 egg per pie to give the filling the perfect texture.
  • Pumpkin pie spice: For the perfect flavour.
  • Tapioca flour: A little is added to firm up the cheesecake. Optional but recommended.
  • Maple syrup: To sweeten the pies. Use stevia or monk fruit for a low sugar version.
  • Tortillas: Use regular sized flour tortillas as the base. You can also use gluten free or grain free tortillas if you prefer.

Tips on making pumpkin tortillas

  • Use fresh tortillas so they are easy to handle and bend to make the tart like shell.
  • The pumpkin yogurt filling will make enough for 2 tortillas/ 2 decent servings. Simply half to make one or multiple to make extra.
  • Make sure to whisk the mixture well so that it resembles a runny smooth custard texture. You don’t want any egg or flour clumps.
  • Keep an eye on the cooking time, as all ovens have different strengths. 
  • The pie should be set and starting to caramelize on the edges when ready.

How to store homemade healthy pumpkin pie

Once your pumpkin pies are completely cooled, place them on a sheet of paper towel inside an airtight container. Store it in the fridge for up to 5 days. Enjoy straight from the fridge with some whipped cream or a dollop of vanilla yoghurt!

FAQ’s

Can I make this dairy free?

You can *try* substituting a thick plant based yogurt for the Greek yogurt however I haven’t tested this myself so I cannot guarantee results. Make my Mini Paleo Pumpkin Pies instead.

Can I make them sweeter?

Using high protein vanilla yoghurt/ greek yoghurt plus maple syrup is key to making the pies sweet. You can use monk fruit or vanilla liquid stevia instead if you prefer

Can you freeze protein pumpkin pie tortillas?

I recommend eating the pies fresh as the crust may become soggy once defrosted.
