Healthy Pecan Pie

Healthy Pecan Pie made with dates instead of corn syrup! Great for the holidays or any special occasion!

I first started making this Healthy Pecan Pie a few years ago when I was vegan. I wanted to make an amazing vegan thanksgiving meal without sacrificing any of my favorite dishes. I have adapted this recipe a bit from the way I made it originally. I now use an egg in the dough, but you could substitute a flax egg to make it vegan.

We all know corn syrup isn’t good for you and I really have no reason for using it. I don’t think I have ever come across another recipe where I need to substitute something in place of corn syrup. Dates give this recipe that delicious depth and richness you are looking for in a pecan pie but much healthier.

I love the filling so much. My intention was for it to be a thanksgiving dessert in our home; however, this recipe is one of my family’s favorite desserts. I now get requests for it all year long.

Why you will love this pie:

• It is easy to prepare and made without corn syrup. Simple natural ingredients you can feel good about.
• Comes together in less than 20 minutes, bake for 30 minutes and voila you have an amazing pie for any occasion.
