GF Pumpkin Pie (Vegan)
This variation on the classic Libby’s pumpkin pie is safe for those who do not consume animal products due to health or religious concerns, but can be served to anyone with pride. Those who are soy intolerant will be relieved to know that this can be made soy free, by using nut milks.

Mix sugar, salt, flour, cinnamon, and ginger in a small bowl. Stir into pumpkin, in a large bowl, beating into the pumpkin mixture until absolutely smooth. Carefully stir in the creamer.
