Explore paleo pumpkin pie and dessert recipes that are gluten free, grain free and dairy free, including autoimmune friendly options and coconut whipped cream for healthier holiday baking.

Did you know I have an entire board on Pinterest dedicated to pumpkin recipes? I’m crazy for pumpkin spice! (how basic) And if you’re gluten free, grain free, and/or dairy free, you’ll be psyched to know you can have your pie and eat it too this Thanksgiving, or anytime the mood strikes.

Here is a list of my favorite paleo pumpkin pies. Ok, so they’re not *all* pies. I included a couple additional pumpkin desserts that are delicious if you want a pie alternative. At the end I’ve also included a dairy free coconut whipped cream topping recipe, because what is pie without whipped cream?! Some of these recipes work for those following a more restrictive autoimmune protocol too. Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these pumpkin desserts gluten and dairy free?

Yes. The desserts in this pumpkin roundup are gluten free, grain free, and dairy free. Many follow paleo guidelines by using almond or coconut flour and natural sweeteners instead of refined sugar and wheat. This makes them suitable for people avoiding common allergens.

Can I enjoy pumpkin pie on a paleo diet?

Yes, pumpkin pie can fit into a paleo lifestyle when made with grain free crusts and coconut based fillings. These recipes replace white flour and dairy with whole food alternatives. The result keeps the classic pumpkin spice flavor without processed ingredients.

Are any of these recipes suitable for autoimmune protocols?

Some recipes are more restrictive and may work for people following an autoimmune protocol. These versions often remove eggs, dairy, nuts, or seeds. Always check each ingredient list carefully to ensure the recipe aligns with your personal health needs.

Is there a non pie pumpkin dessert option included?

Yes. In addition to pumpkin pie, the collection includes pumpkin cake, pumpkin roll, and a vegan style pumpkin cheesecake. These options provide seasonal pumpkin flavor in different textures, offering variety for gatherings or holiday dessert tables.

What can I use instead of regular whipped cream?

Coconut whipped cream is a popular dairy free topping. It is made from chilled full fat coconut milk and lightly sweetened with vanilla and natural sweetener. It adds creaminess and structure without heavy cream or processed additives.

Are these desserts very sweet like traditional pumpkin pie?

These desserts rely on natural sweeteners instead of refined white sugar. Because they contain healthy fats and fiber, they are less likely to cause a sharp blood sugar spike. You still get warm pumpkin spice flavor with more balanced ingredients.
