Ingredients

  • 1 9 -inch vegan pie crust, chilled

  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1/3 cup refined coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup cornstarc h
  • 3 tablespoons ground flaxseed meal
  • 6 tablespoons warm water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
  • In a small container, whisk together the ground flaxseed meal and warm water; allow to hydrate for 10 minutes to form a thick gel.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flax gel, maple syrup, brown sugar, melted coconut oil, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt; whisk vigorously until the cornstarch is fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
  • Fold the pecan halves into the liquid mixture until evenly coated.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared vegan pie crust, ensuring pecans are distributed in an even layer.
  • Bake on the center rack for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight wobble.
  • Remove from oven and place on a wire cooling rack; the pie must cool completely for at least 4 hours at room temperature to allow the starch structure to set before slicing.
