Vegan Pecan Pie
Let’s talk pie!
If there is one pie just about every loves, it’s pecan pie! It’s nostalgic, it’s packed with my favorite pecans, and the best part.. it’s made with just a handful of ingredients!
The traditional version also packs minimal ingredients, but eggs play a role in achieving the texture. There are many recipes, countless, that can made without eggs. However, the pecan pie is one of those that made me nervous about approaching lol. I tried back in 2012 and I believe it was just a total flop. On top of the fact that the majority spilled in my now mother in laws oven lol. The trick with pies is that if you’re using a ready made crust, the metal tins don’t hold well. Which is fine, but you have to use 2 or place them on a baking sheet as you fill them. They just can’t uphold the contents you put into them and easily tip.
Needless to say, it took a while for me to give it another go, and I’m just so glad I did. Believe it or not, a flax egg can really do wonders in recipes and it’s all you need. Other than the eggs, you’re really not switching much to achieve this classic dessert. You could sub out the corn syrup, but that would compromise the dish to the point that it wouldn’t be reminiscent of this iconic dessert.
What’s great about this dessert? Honestly, everything. My approach features a ready made crust, you can even switch up the nuts or choose already chopped, you can add bourbon or cocoa powder for a fun modern spin, you can even salt the pie, you could turn the dessert into bars, these can easily be made in bulk, you can use light or dark corn syrup the choice is yours, it’s perfect for any season, my version packs more nuts than others and it’s just so darn good!
