Can I substitute the date syrup in the filling?

This recipe specifically uses date syrup for its unique flavor and sweetness. While other liquid sweeteners like maple syrup could be used, the flavor profile of the pie would change.

How can I prevent the pecans on top from burning during baking?

Bake the pie at 350 degreesF for 30 minutes. If you notice the top pecans browning too quickly, simply cover the pie loosely with aluminum foil for the remainder of the baking time.

Why does the recipe recommend chilling the pie after baking?

Chilling the pie in the fridge for at least 2 hours after it cools completely helps the flax meal and cornstarch in the filling set, resulting in a much firmer and sliceable pie.

What are the best ways to serve this vegan pecan pie?

This pecan pie is delicious on its own, but for an extra treat, serve it with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream.

How to Prepare Pecan Pie [Vegan]

Place the crust ingredients into a bowl and mix well with a spoon or your hands until you have a sticky dough. Grease a pie tin and place the dough inside. Press down evenly with your fingers and up on the sides of the tin. Set aside and prepare the filling.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Add all ingredients, except for the pecans, into a bowl and whisk to combine. Add in the pecan pieces and stir until combined. Pour the pecan mixture on top of the crust and spread evenly. Place your remaining pecans on top in a decorative manner and place into the oven.
Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Make sure to not let the top pecans burn, otherwise cover with foil.
Once baked, let the pie cool down completely. If you want the pie to be more firm, let it chill in the fridge for another 2 hours. Serve with vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream!
