- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)

Instructions:
For the Pie Crust:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter or coconut oil, and honey or maple syrup. Mix until the crumbs are well coated.
-
Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan, making sure to create an even crust on the bottom and up the sides.
-
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until it turns golden brown. Remove and allow it to cool.
For the Pumpkin Filling:
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, Greek yogurt, and milk until well combined.
-
Add the Osoaa protein powder, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to the pumpkin mixture. Stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the filling is smooth.
-
Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared graham cracker crust.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the pie is set around the edges and slightly jiggly in the center.
-
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least a few hours to let it set completely.
-
Slice and serve your Protein Pumpkin Pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of Greek yogurt, and a sprinkle of additional pumpkin spice for that extra festive Halloween touch.
