Why You’ll Love This Easy Vegan Chocolate Banana Pumpkin Pie
I’ve tried to make vegan pumpkin pies with other methods, like cornstarch and tofu, but we could never get them to set well enough. Don’t get us wrong, they tasted delicious, but they were just never quite firm enough for our liking.
Agar agar powder is a thickening agent made from… believe it or not, seaweed! It doesn’t have any taste, and it’s highly nutritious. This magical powder is high in fiber, potassium, magnesium, and folate, and it works perfectly in our 2 ingredient pumpkin pie filling!
You’ll be surprised this pie isn’t baked in the oven! You make the filling on the stovetop and fill your pie crust. We then added some melted chocolate and bananas on top and voila! Refrigerate until it’s firmed up.
You’ll love how easy this vegan pumpkin pie with chocolate and bananas comes together!
Perfect recipe for Thanksgiving feast! Add some whipped cream and enjoy!
Ingredients You Need
Recipe for Vegan chocolate Pumpkin Pie
- 1 ready pie crust, baked – make sure it’s a vegan pie crust
- 1 30 oz can pumpkin pie filling, not pumpkin puree (we used Libby’s) If you have a large pie crust you may need to add a bit more pie filling, or a sliced banana, get creative!
- 2 tsp agar agar powder
Extra Ingredients

Instructions How to Make the Easiest Vegan Pumpkin Pie Filling with Chocolate
- Pour pumpkin pie filling into a sauce pan, and add 2 tsp of agar agar powder. Whisk to combine. Heat on stove on medium-high heat, whisking often. When it starts to bubble turn heat to low and continue to whisk often for 5 minutes.
- Remove pie filling from heat and pour into the ready pie crust (you may need to bake your pie crust for a few minutes first).
- If adding banana slices and/or melted chocolate you can add it to the pie filling now. Put pie in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for it cool and set.
Substitutions for Easy Vegan Pumpkin Pie
- If you’re not able to find pumpkin pie filling, then you can use two or three 15-ounce cans (depending how big your pie crust is) of canned pumpkin puree mixed with 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice.
- Can substitute with any vegan crust, such as a graham cracker crust or cookie crust options.
More Variations
- Add some cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, ginger, cloves for some extra spicy flavor!
- Substitute your pumpkin pie filling with mashed sweet potato for your vegan pumpkin pie recipe, with some sweetener, like pure maple syrup.
- Add some sweetness by adding some agave or maybe even add some pure vanilla extract to bring out the pumpkin pie filling flavor.
In conclusion, vegan chocolate pumpkin pie is not just a delicious dessert, but also a symbol of a changing world where plant-based options are becoming more and more accessible. Whether you’re a seasoned vegan or simply looking for a healthier alternative, this pie is a must-try.
