Crust free, suagr free pumpkin pie recipe

I hope I am in the right place!

Diabetic for 11 years, so I have to satisfy the sweet tooth somehow!
I worked on this and yes, it's fully what I want.
You need:
1 can pumpkin, NOT pumpkin mix.
1 can evaporated milk
2 eggs
3/4 cup Splenda
cinnamon and nutmeg to taste
1 tablespoon flour
..............
Mix pour into glass pie pan sprayed with a PAM type product.
BAKE: 425 for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 for 40 minutes.
When cool, slice into 8 pieces. it's really good, and very satisfying.
Hope this helps, i know how boring diabetic foods can be!

diabetic eating is just about the most boring thing in the world. After 3 years of eating low carb and keeping my BG at A1C of 5.7, I am totally tired of eating lean protein and vegetables. Totally tired. I wish I never had to look at a piece of meat ever again. Nothing looks or tastes good anymore, and that's sad.

just flour-free.

Try some recipes and techniques using almond flour or crushed walnuts for the crust. I don't have anything offhand-- it's been a while since I made some. With all the gluten hysterics lately, such recipes abound. And I'm assuming no nut allergies among the consumers on your end.

(Pecans in pumpkin pie? Too good for the kids.)

BTW, living in farm country, I tend to collect squashes of all sorts in the fall and freeze the meat for later use. Personally, I've found cheese pumpkins to be the best for pies so far. But, I've run out of last fall's supply and canned pumpkin is just fine in such an "emergency".
