Servings: 1 pie
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups whole pecans
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 tablespoons ground flaxseed meal
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin coconut oil
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons whole wheat or oat flour
- 1 9-inch whole-grain pie crust
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F. In a food processor, add 1 cup of the whole pecans and process until a coarse meal is formed. Place the meal in a medium bowl and add the chopped pecans.
- Stir until just combined.
- In a large bowl, combine the maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, flaxseed meal, almond milk, coconut oil and sea salt. Add the pecan mixture to the wet mixture and stir until mixed well. Stir in the flour, 1 tablespoon at a time (the batter should be thick although still loose enough to pour).
- Pour the batter into the pie crust. Arrange the remaining whole pecans on top. Bake for 45 minutes. Let the pie cool completely so the filling sets firmly. Serve immediately.
