    Easy Vegan Pecan Pie

    This Vegan Pecan Pie is a healthy, classic and comforting pie, and one of the easiest to prepare. It’s loaded with nuts and not overly sweet. Made with a buttery 4-ingredient crust and a gooey filling, you won’t tell it’s made without eggs, no corn syrup and just a bunch of staple ingredients.

    Not only is this Pecan Pie vegan, but it’s also gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and oil-free. If you like this pie, definitely try my Vegan Gluten-free Pumpkin Pie recipe, you won’t regret it!

    Vegan Glutenfree Pie Crust

    Hi there again! How is the New Year treating you? I can’t complain. I just came back from a holiday week in Berlín and still have a few days left before going back to normal.

    Celebrations finish on January 6th here, so planning to make this pie again next Tuesday to celebrate the Three Kings Day. My family loves pecan nuts and this vegan pecan pie is just the perfect treat for the next family lunch. Will serve it with a big dollop of vanilla ice cream. Can you picture it? Mmm, so can I!

    What Is Vegan Pecan Pie?

    Vegan Pecan Pie is the eggless and dairy-free version of everyone’s favorite pie. It’s impossible to go wrong with it. It’s basically a pie of pecan nuts mixed with a filling of vegan butter, cane sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and a splash of bourbon. To make it more festive, it’s often served with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

    How to Make Vegan Pecan Pie

    Didn’t I tell you that this pie is delicious and super easy? Here are the steps:

    1. Start by making the crust and refrigerate it for half an hour.
    2. Meanwhile, prepare the filling, which is as simple as whisking all the filling ingredients together. 
    3. Roll out the pie crust, around 10 inches in diameter if using a 8-inch pie dish. Place in the pie dish and crimp edges in a decorative design.
    4. Pour the filling over the pie crust.
    5. Bake for around 40 minutes.

    How to Get Vegan Pecan Pie to Set

    This filling will set as it cools. Anyway, once the filling is ready, letting it sit on the counter for 30 minutes will help to thicken thanks to the flax meal. I don’t add any corn starch that, as you may know, is another thickener, but you can include a tablespoon of it to your pie filling if you wish.
