This Easy Vegan Pecan Pie is just what your dessert table needs! Made with just 8 healthier ingredients and ready in under and hour!
Ingredients
-
1 pie crust (homemade or store bought)
-
3/4 full fat canned coconut milk
-
3 TBS corn or arrowroot starch
-
2 TBS vegan butter
-
2 cups whole pecans
-
1/3 cup + 2 TBS brown sugar
-
1/4 maple syrup
-
2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. When ready, bake your empty pie crust for 6 – 8 minutes, watching to insure the edges do not burn.
-
While this is happening, whisk in a medium bowl your coconut milk and cornstarch to form a slurry. Set aside.
-
In a wide skillet or saucepan on the stovetop, heat vegan butter over medium until melted. Add pecans, coat with butter, and toast for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add coconut milk/cornstarch mixture, coconut sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and salt and combine. Remove from heat.
-
Carefully pour filling into your par-baked crust. If you have leftover pecans, now is the time to press them into any gaps on the pie surface.
-
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, remove from oven, and let cool (ideally overnight).
