3 vegan Pecan Tartlets

Ingredients

Crust
  • 1½ cups gluten-free oats
  • ½ cup almonds
  • 5 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
Pie Filling
  • 2 cups cashews (soaked overnight)
  • ¼ cup coconut oil (melted)
  • ¼ cup cashew milk
  • ¼ cup almond pulp (from almond milk)
  • 2 cups pecans (roasted)
  • ¾ cup maple syrup
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp pumpkin spice

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 4 mini tart pans with coconut oil and set aside.
  2. For the crust add oats and almonds into a food processor. Pulse until combined, then add maple syrup and coconut oil. Process into a moist mixture.
  3. Firmly press dough into the tart pans and press up on the sides as well. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until crust appears golden brown.
  4. Let sit for about 5-10 minutes and then transfer onto a cooling rack.
  5. For the filling add maple syrup and roasted pecans in a large saucepan and heat over medium heat (3-5 minutes), stirring frequently until the maple syrup has completely reduced.
  6. As soon as no liquid remains and the maple syrup has coated the nuts, remove from heat and transfer onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  7. Add cashews into a food processor and process until completely smooth. Transfer into a medium sized bowl and set aside.
  8. Now add the cooled maple coated pecans into the food processor and process into a smooth nut butter.
  9. Add mixture to the bowl with cashews and combine with a spatula.
  10. Add melted coconut oil, milk, pulp and spices and mix well until fully combined. Pour mixture into your baked tarts and let sit in the fridge for about 2-3 hours.
  11. Enjoy with drizzled chocolate on top. Store leftovers in the fridge for about 2-3 days.
