ELAVEGAN.COM

These pecan tarts are sweet, sticky, gooey, nutty, and yet much healthier than traditional versions to impress at potlucks and the holidays.

Plus, these Canadian-inspired butter tarts are also vegan (dairy-free, egg-free), and gluten-free!

WHAT YOU WILL NEED  FOR THE CRUST

WHAT YOU WILL NEED  FOR THE FILLING

Add the crust ingredients to a food processor and process until the mixture sticks together into a ‘dough.’

STEP 1

Divide the dough between the muffin tin cups and use your fingers or a spoon to press them into a crust shape, going about 75% up the sides of the tin. Sprinkle the raisins into the muffin cups.

STEP 2

Mix all the filling ingredients (except the pecans) in a medium mixing bowl and whisk well to combine.

STEP 3

Divide the mixture between the tart shells, filling them about ¾ full.

STEP 4

Then top the pecan tartlets with the pecans and bake in the oven for about 24 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling

STEP 5

Once ready, remove the pecan butter tarts from the oven and allow them to cool down for a minimum of 30 minutes (somewhere between 30-60 works well) on a wire rack before enjoying!

These pecan tarts are just as decadent and filling, but now they’re more nourishing for the body, too! So bake up a batch the holidays (especially Thanksgiving) and watch them disappear.
