Vegan Pecan Pie
The best recipe for vegan pecan pie. The pie tastes divine, slices easily, and looks stunning. The tasty filling uses little sugar and maple syrup stands in for corn syrup, which is traditionally used in pecan pies.
Servings: 10 slices
Calories: 427kcal
Equipment
- Bowl (you can mix the dough, rinse out the bowl and use it for the filling)
Ingredients
- 1 vegan pie crust
- ¾ cup super fine almond flour
- ¾ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup oat milk (or any nondairy milk)
- 3 tablespoon cornstarch (cut down to 2 for a more gooey filling)
- 2½ cups pecan halves
- 4 tablespoon vegan butter (melted)
Instructions
- Prepare the pie crust by rolling it to a diameter slightly larger than your pie plate and fit it in. Crimp or flute the edges for a decorative touch and keep in the refrigerator until the filling is ready.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Set the rack to the lowest position.
- In a bowl, mix all of the filling ingredients: almond flour, maple syrup, sugar, cornstarch, pure vanilla extract, butter and oat milk. Finally stir in 2 cups of pecans.
- Pour the filling into the pie crust. Decorate the top with the remaining half cup of pecans. Place pie plate on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes on the lowest rack of the oven. The filling should seem set when you pull it out or give it more time.
- Once the pie comes out of the oven cool it thoroughly on a rack for 5-6 hours or overnight before slicing.
Notes
- I like adding the pecan halves to the filling as they are, but you can also chop them up into smaller pieces if you prefer them like that in the filling.
- You can decorate the pie top with more pecan halves or leave it plain--your choice. It will look pretty either way.
- If you would prefer to use traditional corn syrup instead of maple syrup, use dark corn syrup in the same amount.
