Ingredients

Pie Crust Ingredients
  • 2 cups Kashi® Good Friends® cereal
  • ⅓ cup whole wheat flour
  • ¾ cup shredded coconut
  • ½ cup organic apple juice concentrate

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 pound firm tofu, drained (use silken tofu for a creamier texture)
  • 1 (15 oz) can of pumpkin (about 2 cups of fresh-baked pumpkin will work fine too)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice blend

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Place the Kashi® Good Friends® cereal in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin or process in a food processor or blender until it is semi-fine in texture.
  3. Place the cereal in a bowl and add the remaining crust ingredients. Stir until well mixed. Place in a lightly oiled 9-inch glass pie pan and press into place with a spoon or rubber spatula. Bake at 375°F for 8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely before filling.
  4. Blend all filling ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Pour into the 9-inch pie crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 1 hour. Chill before serving as this will help to firm up the pie.

    It’s easy to crush the cereal in a plastic bag with a rolling pin. This is also really good as a pudding – just omit the crust, put the baking dish with the filling in a metal pan with a couple inches of water in it, and bake. If you miss the crust, you can always serve it with gingersnaps on the side!
