Description

A delicious paleo pecan pie made with wholesome ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 unbaked prepared paleo pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate
  • 3/4 cup maple syrup (237g)
  • 1 cup coconut sugar (180g)
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca or arrowroot starch (or GF all purpose flour) (7g)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (30 ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups pecans (200g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.
  2. Add the maple syrup, sugar, starch, vanilla, eggs, coconut oil and salt to a medium sized mixing bowl and whisk together until fully combined.
  3. Roughly chop 1 cup of pecans and stir into your maple filling.
  4. Pour the filling into the pie crust.
  5. Top the filling with the remaining pecans. You can form a pattern with the remaining pecans or roughly chop and scatter over the top.
  6. Place in the centre of the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the filling is set. After about 20 minutes, place a sheet of baking parchment over the top of the pie to prevent the crust from browning too much.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely. The filling will firm up and settle as the pie cools.
  8. Slice and serve warm or cold topped with a dollop of coconut whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
  9. You can keep this covered and stored at room temp for up to 2 days or in the fridge up to 5 days.

Notes

  • This pie is best enjoyed after cooling to enhance the flavors.
  • Serve with coconut whipped cream or ice cream for added indulgence.
