Chai pumpkin pie (vegan) - the funcrunch files

boyziggy and I made this recipe together the other night. It was really yummy, as to be expected as it came from the cookbook of my Favorite Restaurant On Earth, Native Foods.

2 cups (15 ounce can) canned pumpkin
12 1/2 ounces firm silken tofu
1 cup maple syrup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place first eleven ingredients in a blender and blend well. Pour into unbaked pie crust and bake for 1 hour.
