Extra protein squash pie recipe (keto, paleo, gluten free)

I made my own version of one of my most favorite fall-time recipes, Squash pie!

Extra protein squash pie recipe!

I encountered this about a year or two ago during a paleo potluck and I instantly fell in love with it.

I decided to try a variation of it.

It’s very sweet tasting despite no added sugar or carbs.

That’s why I love pumpkins and squash: Natural sugars!

“Say hello to my little friend!”

Meet Ronaldo. He’s a mustachioed Pumpkin.

He’s going to help with my extra protein squash pie today.

Here’s our ingredients:

  • 2 medium butternut squash, cut in half, seeded
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil (or butter)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1-2 scoops of your favorite protien powder
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie spice
  • (If you don’t have PPS; 1 teaspoon cinnamon and ¼ teaspoon nutmeg)
  • ½ teaspoon salt


If you want to put it into a crust, that’s very doable. I’d just suggest not using anything store bought! (Unless you like transfats!)

Prepare your squash beforehand or buy pre-cut cubes if they’re available. (Costco has them in fall time.)

Throw everything into the food processor.

Mix it up until it’s nice and creamy and smooth. Like this:

Grease up a oven safe glass or metal container to bake it in. Ronaldo has already done this. Thank you, Ronaldo.

Bake in the oven at 350 Degrees F for about 40-50 minutes. It should begin to develop a skin, but it will still be creamy underneath.

This is a variation on the Elana’s Squash Pie recipe, which is based on Sally Fallon’s Nourishing Traditions Cookbook.

Both are delicious by themselves, of course!

If you make this, let me know what you think in the comments section!

I’d really appreciate it if you share this with your fellow Keto/Paleo/low carb friends!

thanks!

Your friend,
