Just because you’re a vegan, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your favorite pies. Especially Pecan Pie!! Here’s a recipe we found for “Amazing Pecan Pie”

1/2 cup raw sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons nondairy milk (I use soy)
2 egg substitutes (I use Bob’s Red Mill substitute)
8 tablespoons vegan butter, melted (I use Earth Balance)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup pecans
1 9″ unbaked pie crust

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix ingredients. They come out watery.

2. Pour into the pie shell. Place on a cookie sheet and put into the oven for 20 minutes.

3. Reduce oven temperature to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for 20 minutes or longer.

4. Check, center should be slightly soft, but if it seems too watery, bake for 20 more minutes.

Source of recipe: This recipe was inspired by a recipe I got from my mom, I’ve taken it, rewritten it, and vegan-ized it.

Makes: 1 pie, Preparation time: 10 minutes, Cooking time: 40-60 minutes
