Ingredients
- 2 cups raw pecan halves
- 1/3 cup naturally gluten-free beer OR almond milk OR other dairy or non-dairy milk
- 2 Tbs. flaxseed meal
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- ½ tsp. sea salt
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- ½ cup coconut nectar OR brown rice syrup OR agave nectar or Karo® syrup
- ¼ cup unrefined coconut palm sugar OR brown sugar
- 2 Tbs. gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
- 3 Tbs. Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks OR butter
- one recipe gluten free pie crust dough
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º F.
- Spread pecans on a baking pan and toast in preheated oven for 5-8 minutes, stirring so they don't brown too much or burn. Set aside to cool, then coarsely chop 1 cup of nuts, leaving 1 cup whole.
- Combine gluten-free beer, flaxseed meal, vanilla and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside while preparing remaining filling ingredients.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together maple syrup, coconut nectar, sugar, gfJules Flour and Buttery Sticks over medium heat, then increase to medium-high and bring to a boil while stirring. Reduce to a simmer and continue to cook for 5 minutes while stirring frequently.
- Remove from the stove and add the beer-flax mixture and chopped nuts. Stir to fully combine, then pour into prepared pie plate with unbaked gluten free pie crust. Arrange unchopped, toasted nuts on top of pie randomly or in a decorative pattern.
- Brush crust edges with milk of choice (or egg white + 1 Tbs. water if not vegan). Cover crust edges with pie crust covers and bake for 40 minutes; remove crust covers and bake for 10 minutes more (50 minutes total).
- Remove to fully cool before serving with your favorite ice cream or whipped cream, or just plain!
