This time of the year is probably the only time that my husband and I bake. We love to cook but usually leave the baking to the experts. I think it’s because the ingredient amounts need to be more precise, whereas with cooking we do a little dash of this and a smidgen of that (obviously no definite measurements) and the dish comes out great! Unfortunately, that has never happened to us with baking.
One year my husband decided he was going to make a cheesecake for Thanksgiving, which caught me by surprise. Our only bump in the road was that I am gluten sensitive, so we searched for a pie crust, and viola – we started baking!
It came out delicious and is now a staple every year. You can always replace the gluten-free pie crust with any type of pie crust too!
Here’s what you will need:
- 16 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup gluten free flour
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 15 oz pureed pumpkin
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- Gluten-free pie crust – you can make your own or purchase a ready-made pie crust, such as the Mi-Del one we used. I found it at Fresh Market, but I am sure you can find it at other supermarkets.
Here’s what you need to do:

This is the only time of year I really bake so I’m with you there! I’m a big peach cobbler fan and I also really like cakes and brownies. I made Nutella brownies last night that were DELICIOUS!
Happy New Year,
Allison
Dana says
Allison – Nutella brownies sounds insanely delicious!!!!
Ruth I says
A gluten free cakes sounds like something else. Makes me wonder how it taste like. By the looks of it; it must be pretty good.
Angela says
I like to bake at this time of year too. We don’t see so much pumpkin pie here in the UK but I always like to try it when I’m in the USA. So I’ll be giving this recipe a try.
Dana says
Angela, do you have canned pumpkin? That works best, in my opinion!
Nate says
We found some pre-made gluten-free crusts at our local market this past weekend. We’re going to make some pies for sure with this.
Dana says
I can’t wait to hear what you think of the recipe!
