This vegan pecan pie is the perfect special treat without the guilt. A healthy spin on a classic, it's made with organic dates and pecans that give the filling structure and sweet dates, as well as coconut sugar, spices, and flaked sea salt to give it that traditional pecan pie flavor.
And don't worry, the texture is there too! Toasted pecans and coconut oil bring crunch and richness, while almond milk creates a creamy, custard-like texture.
No refined sugar or processed ingredients, just whole food goodness. And, you get a bonus of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. And, best of all, you don't have to feel guilty indulging this season! Dig in and enjoy!
