What's better than a pecan pie? Hands-down, it's a MINI pecan pie. After all, everything is better in mini form, and these pies are no exception! In fact, these may be the Best Ever Mini Pecan Pies, and I will go on the record saying it. These pies come together in a matter of minutes, with only 8 unique ingredients, and can easily be made gluten-free as well! Woohoo!
Ingredients
- 2 Packages Frozen Pie Crust thawed
- 1 ¾ Cups Pecans chopped
- ⅓ Cup Coconut Sugar
- ¼ Cup Maple Syrup
- 1 Egg or substitute for a flax egg or chia egg
- 3 Tablespoons Butter melted
- 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 Pinch Sea Salt
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350 F.
- Next, prepare your muffin tin by rubbing butter or oil inside each cavity of the tin, so the pie crust doesn’t stick to it.
- Next, gently roll out your pie crust on a flat surface.
- Then, using a 4-inch cookie cutter, cut out 12 circles in your pie dough.
- Gently place each mini pie crust into the cavities of the muffin tins, bending them as needed to fit the shape of the tin. Just be careful that the crust doesn’t break!
- Once the crusts are prepared, make the filling by combining the chopped pecans, coconut sugar, egg (or flax egg), melted butter, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and sea salt in a bowl.
- Stir until they’re fully combined, then fill each cavity in the muffin tin with an equal amount of filling.
- Finally, once your pies are prepared, bake them for 22-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crusts are golden brown.
- Once they’re done, let them cool completely, then serve and enjoy
- Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to one week.
