This is the pecan pie that we serve at our Thanksgiving Day meal. It is as traditional as it gets: rich, thick, and moist, with a great toasted pecan taste.

Ingredients
  • 2½ cups pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped
  • ¾ cup maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup brown rice syrup
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Place the pecans in a large bowl.

  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk beverage, flaxseed meal, and starch until the starch is dissolves.
  6. Pour the milky mixture and the syrup mixture into your blender, and blend until smooth.
  7. Pour the liquid from the blender over the pecans and stir well to combine.
  8. Scrape the pecan mixture into your prebaked pie shell and even it out.
  9. Bake the pie for 30 minutes, or until the filling has firmed up.
  10. Let cool completely before slicing.
