Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Yield 1 9-inch pie

Ingredients

  • heaping 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tbsp molasses, blackstrap or regular
  • 3/4 cup pure maple syrup or agave
  • 3 tbsp nut butter of choice OR vegan butter
  • 1/4 cup flaxmeal whisked into 1/3 cup water
  • 2 tbsp bourbon OR 1 additional tbsp water
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • optional 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, pinch nutmeg, etc.
  • optional pecans for garnish

Instructions

  • *You can use any homemade or store-bought 9-inch pie crust. I used the following recipe: 1 3/4 cup whole wheat or white flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/3 cup vegetable or melted coconut oil, and 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup cold water, as needed. Stir everything together to form a dough. If too dry, add more water or oil. If too sticky, add more flour. Press into a pie pan. You can pre-bake it for 10 minutes at 400 F, but honestly it still works even if you don't. I love the taste of molasses, but feel free to simply sub maple syrup if you don't.
    For the pecan pie: Whisk together all ingredients except optional garnish, and let sit at least 30 minutes in the fridge, during which time it will thicken thanks to the flaxmeal. (If the flax is good, the mixture will be noticeably thicker when you take it out.) Preheat oven to 350 F. Pour filling into a crust. Arrange the optional extra pecans over top if desired. Bake on the center rack 35 minutes, then do not open the oven door but let sit in the now-turned-off oven an additional 10 minutes.
