Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Stir in the melted coconut oil until crumbly.

  3. 3

    Add 3-4 tablespoons of cold water gradually until the dough comes together. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, prepare the flax egg by mixing the ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.

  5. 5

    After the dough has chilled, roll it out on a lightly floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess dough.

  6. 6

    To make the filling, in a large bowl, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, almond milk, and prepared flax egg. Whisk until smooth.

  7. 7

    Fold in the chopped pecans, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using).

  8. 8

    Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and arrange additional pecans on top.

  9. 9

    Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.

  10. 10

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
