Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into a pie plate that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.
- Bake at 350°F until a knife inserted halfway between the center of the pie comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
- Cut the pie into eighths. Each piece equals 1/4 point, 1/3 of a carbohydrate exchange, and 16 calories.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned. You can also substitute the skim milk with almond or coconut milk for a dairy-free version. If you want a richer taste, add a few tablespoons of maple syrup instead of brown sugar. Remember to whisk the eggs well before adding them to ensure a smooth consistency.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pumpkin pie chilled or at room temperature, topped with a dollop of light whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon. It pairs wonderfully with a warm beverage like chai tea or coffee. For a festive touch, consider serving it alongside a slice of Lo-Cal Banana Nut Bread for a delightful dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pumpkin pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place a slice in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sweetened condensed milk instead of skim milk?
While sweetened condensed milk could work, it will significantly increase the calorie count and sweetness of the pie. If you're looking to keep the recipe light, it's best to stick with skim milk or a non-dairy alternative.
How can I make this pie gluten-free?
To make the pie gluten-free, simply replace the dry biscuit mix with a gluten-free baking mix. Be sure to check that all other ingredients, including any spices, are also gluten-free to ensure the entire recipe meets your dietary needs.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can make this pie a day or two ahead of time. Just let it cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld and enhances the overall taste, making it a convenient option for holiday gatherings.
