    Peanut Pie for a Tasty New Tradition without Dairy, Corn, or the Expense!

    6
    By Sarah Hatfield on May 22, 2018 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes, Kids Can Cook, Sarah's Recipes

    Each month, we feature a family-friendly recipe from the Hatfields in our Kids Can Cook section. But because of all the May holidays, we’re doubling down this month! The Hatfield’s dairy-free teen cooking star is Katherine. And this week she and her “mama”, Sarah, are baking up a new tradition: Corn-Free, Dairy-Free Peanut Pie. 

    Dairy-Free Peanut Pie Recipe for a Tasty New Tradition (also Corn-Free, Soy-Free, optionally Gluten-Free, and Cheap to Make!)

    Over the past year or so I read a few articles extolling the virtues of Peanut Pie and became intrigued. Not peanut butter pie, but peanut pie. It’s a variation on pecan pie, and a Southern delicacy.

    One of the articles shared an image of an old Karo syrup ad featuring a recipe for DeLuxe Peanut Pie. Some might think of Peanut Pie as a holiday dish, which I’m sure would be great. But it reminded me of spring; the beginning of baseball season, fairs, carnivals, and circuses. So Katherine and I decided to try it for our column this month.

    We used the basic structure of the 1940s Karo pie recipe, but we made it dairy free and used Lyle’s Golden Syrup (cane syrup) instead of corn syrup. We love this pie. Our family said it tastes like Cracker Jacks or Peanut Brittle in pie form. One pecan pie lover said he likes it just as much as pecan pie–if not better. I think it might become a new staple for spring potlucks and perhaps, for Memorial Day.

    Katherine often makes pecan pies, especially this Chocolate Pecan Pie. So making a Peanut Pie wasn’t much of a leap. Older kids and teens can easily make the entire pie by themselves. Younger children can help make the pie crust and mix together all of the filling ingredients by themselves. This is also a nice recipe to practice nut pies with since peanuts are much more affordable than pecans!

    Author: Katherine and Sarah Hatfield
    Serves: 1 9-inch pie
    Ingredients
    • 1 unbaked deep-dish 9-inch dairy-free pie crust (store-bought, homemade press-in, homemade roll out, or gluten-free)
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 cup Lyle's golden syrup
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 2 tablespoons melted dairy-free buttery spread
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ⅛ teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup salted peanuts
    Instructions
    1. Preheat your oven to 400ºF.
    2. Place the eggs in a mixing bowl and lightly beat. Add the syrup, sugar, eggs, buttery spread, vanilla, and salt and mix or stir until combined. Stir in the peanuts.
    3. Pour the peanut mixture into your prepared pie crust.
    4. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of the filling comes out clean. If the edges of the crust are browning too quickly, cover them with tented aluminum foil or a pie shield.
    5. Place the pie pan on a cooling rack, and let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving.

        The instructions say to add Corn syrup. did you mean to say Lyles golden or maple syrup?

          Yes, golden syrup! Sorry, typo in edit.

        If only you made it without eggs!

          Scott, I haven’t tried this recipe without eggs, but Alisa has a vegan pecan pie recipe. You might be able to try it with peanuts instead of pecans.

        Do you think lightly crushing the peanuts would work
        for this recipe? It seems like a really easy recipe and
        impressive to take for a special dessert. Thank you
