Ingredients: 1-1/2 cups Bob’s Red Mill Paleo Flour; ½ tsp. salt; ½ cup vegan butter; 3-4 Tbsp. Sproud Plant-Based Milk (cold); 3/4 cup Nutiva Coconut Sugar; 1/4 cup maple syrup; 2 Tbsp. Nutiva Coconut Oil with Buttery Flavor (melted); 1/2 cup Sproud Plant-Based Milk; 2 Tbsp. Nutiva Refined Coconut Oil; 1/4 cup tapioca flour (or Bob’s Red Mill Baking Flour); 2 Tbsp.

Creating a vegan pecan pie is no small feat, but this recipe crushes the challenge with blue ribbon results. By cleverly incorporating tapioca flour, buttery coconut oil, maple syrup and sunflower butter into the nutty filling instead of the customary binders of eggs and cornstarch, the consistency remains soft and creamy but cuts clean for a perfect piece. The gluten- and dairy-free crust is flaky and buttery and the filling is rich and caramelly with no refined sugars. In this pie, indulgence is matched by wholesomeness – how’s that for a slice of comfort and joy?
