It’s almost Thanksgiving, and I wanted to make a low sodium version of classic pumpkin pie! It’s unbelievably simple to make your own pie from scratch, and you can control how much sodium and salt are in the pie.

You can use pre-made/store-bough pie crusts, as many stores have great low sodium options available. Mix canned pumpkin, eggs, sugar, and some spices in a large bowl, add to a pie crust and bake. You have the easiest homemade dessert that is low in sodium and has no added salt.

What’s In This Low Sodium Pie Recipe?

See the recipe card below for a full list of instructions and ingredient amounts!

Canned Pumpkin – I stock up on canned pumpkin and enjoy it all year! Make sure to use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie mix or else it will be too sweet.
Eggs – Eggs naturally contain about 60-70mg of sodium per large egg.
Granulated Sugar
All Purpose Flour
Vanilla Extract: it’s super important to use real pure vanilla extract, and not artificial baking vanilla flavor. This real all natural vanilla is a fantastic ingredient to give this recipe an extra boost.
Ceylon Cinnamon – we use Ceylon cinnamon which has a great flavor.
Nutmeg
Coconut Milk: I use unsweetened full-fat coconut milk, which I’d definitely recommend over lite coconut milk. The flavor makes this dish rich and creamy without any dairy. Coconut milk contains just 30mg for a ⅓ cup serving, making it a great low sodium milk alternative.
Pie Crusts – see below for some tips on buying pre-made!

How To Choose a Pie Crust

Making pie from scratch can seem daunting – luckily it’s very simple when you find a good pre-made pie crust! I’ve found some really great ones lately that have 35-80mg of sodium per serving.

One tip: check the frozen section! I’ve found that the frozen pie crusts in my stores are lower in sodium than the ones in the baking aisle.

Trader Joes has a great gluten free low sodium pie crust. I’ve also used these pie crusts from Whole Foods which have 35mg sodium per serving, and are great for sweet pies and also savory quiches.

If you want to make your own, I like to use this almond flour pie crust recipe, just omit the salt.

How To Make This Recipe

Read the directions on your pie crust – thaw or bring to room temperature if needed.
Preheat the oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large bowl, add the pumpkins puree, eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, nutmeg, coconut milk, and stir well to combine. Fold together until well mixed and smooth. The mixture will be liquid-y, but it will firm once baked.
Fill each pie crust with the filling, so as to not spill over the edge of the crust.
Place the pies in the oven and bake for 12 minutes.
Turn heat down to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and bake for an additional 35 to 45 minutes, or until filling has set.
Allow pies to cool before slicing. Enjoy!
