Is Pecan Pie Vegan?

Typically pecan pie is made with eggs and butter, which means that it is not vegan. However, this Vegan Pecan Pie recipe is easy to make and delicious!

What You’ll Need

Vegan Pie Crust – This Easy Vegan Pie Crust recipe is so delicious for any type of vegan pie! A store-bought vegan pie crust works great, too.

Pecan Halves – The pecan halves are roughly chopped (but not overly chopped) for the best-ever pecan pie filling.

Flax Egg – Ground flaxseed (opens in a new tab) mixed with water thickens to make a vegan flax egg! Another option is to use a vegan egg substitute.

Vegan Butter – While you can always use coconut oil instead, there’s something about the flavor of vegan butter (opens in a new tab) that really brings this recipe to life. I highly recommend it!

Maple Syrup or Light Corn Syrup – There are two options for the syrup: maple syrup or light corn syrup. Technically, the light corn syrup works slightly better in binding the ingredients and creating the right pecan pie filling texture. However, the flavor of the maple syrup takes this recipe to another level! Feel free to choose from whatever you have on hand and whatever works best for you.

Vanilla Extract – The vanilla adds so much delicious flavor!

Brown Sugar – The brown sugar in this recipe sweetens it to perfection while also adding that warm, holiday flavor.

Cornstarch – A little bit of cornstarch (opens in a new tab) thickens the filling mixture for the perfect vegan pecan pie!

Ground Cinnamon – While optional, adding a little bit of ground cinnamon can add depth to the flavor and bring out that holiday taste!
