Chocolate Chip Georgia Pecan Pie

Ingredients:

For the crust

1 cup cashew meal (or grind your own)

1 cup almond flour

1 egg

1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

1/4 cup tapioca flour

Pinch of salt

For the filling

3 eggs

3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

3/4 cup dairy- and soy-free chocolate chips, plus more for sprinkling on top (optional)

1 1/2 cups pecan halves

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup maple sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. To make the crust, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix until well incorporated. Lightly grease pie tin and press the mixture into a nice even layer in the base and up the sides. Par-bake the crust for 5 minutes, then remove from the oven.

3. To make the filling, mix all the ingredients in a bowl until well combined, and then pour into the par-baked pie shell. If adding more chocolate chips, sprinkle them on top. Return the filled pie to the oven and bake for 30–40 minutes, or until set. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Serve warm.
