Another #guiltless Thanksgiving pie recipe coming at ya! And believe me lady, this pecan pie is lit!
Ingredients:
2 cups pecans (soaked)
6-7 cups dates (soaked)
1 pre-made crust (whole wheat, spelt, or gluten-free)
1/2 cup organic oats (optional)
Grade B maple syrup
1 tsp coconut oil
Directions: Put the dates and nuts in separate bowls, pour boiling water over them and let soak for 15-20 min. While soaking, put your crust in the oven and brown for 10-15 min at 450. Pour the soft dates into a high-speed blender with ¼ cup of the water. Blend until you get a creamy, thick consistency. Add additional water if needed. Strain water from your soaked pecans. Use a frying pan and 1 tsp of coconut oil to brown your oats on low to medium heat. When the oats begin to brown, add in pecans and continue to toss mixture for 2-4 min. Turn off heat and drizzle maple syrup on the mixture. Pour your filling into the pie crust and spread evenly. Let cool and enjoy!
