As the season is changing I’m trying to get into more of a Fall mood with my recipes.
One thing that screams Fall to me is pecans and especially Pecan Pie!
I have made a couple great recipes using pecans before:
- Gluten-Free Pecan Crusted Coffee Cakes
- Clean Maple Pecan Ice Cream
- Healthy Pecan Pie Bites
- Skinny Pecan Pie Tarts
- Raw Cinnamon Buns
This Raw Pecan Pie is different for a couple reasons. It is insanely simple. It has a raw sugar cookie pie crust. I added chia seeds for extra fiber and creaminess. In my mind this recipe is divine.
I love this recipe on its own or topped with our Coconut Whipped Cream. To make this recipe even more decadent drizzle our Healthy Coconut Oil Chocolate over this pie before you serve (using the recipe linked – just skipping the freeze step).
This recipe will be perfect for your next family meal, Thanksgiving or as a special treat.
This recipe is raw, vegan, gluten free, 3 steps, simple to make and is the best raw pecan pie out there!

Hey Mandy! So great to hear that you made this recipe :))) It is so yummy isn’t it!!? Thank you for the comment-love 🙂 Hope you are having a great day!
Planning on making this. Do you think Maple Syrup could be used instead of Agave? I don’t care for agave, and will not have honey. Thanks
Yes you sure can!!! Enjoy 🙂
your recipes are by far the best i’ve seen… you make desserts that are soo good… thank god for you sharing this …your amazing.
Thanks so much Marty! Glad you are enjoying them.
also i wanted to say, the ottom of the pie alone could be a recipe itself, soo sweet and good…
Thanks Marty!
O My! My husband will love this, been dying for good pecan pie since we went sugar free and gluten free years ago!
This is such an amazing option for a sugar free and gluten free pie. Glad you found us!
What do you mean by pre soaked dates?
Hi Erika!
Simply soak your dates in water overnight. It just ensures they are easy to blend. 🙂
How much water do you soak them in?
Just enough to cover them
Can I substitute the dates for something else I can’t have a lot of sugars even natural ones 🙁 ?
Is there anything I can replace the banana with? I really don’t like bananas 😀
Do you know how far ahead this can be frozen? How long should I leave it out from the freezer before serving?
Thank you!
Hi ml, You can freeze this recipe overnight. You can remove from the freezer 60 minutes before serving. You want to keep this as fresh as possible as it is all natural ingredients.
Thanks so much for the recipe! Do you know about how many dates are in a cup?
Could I use flax meal instead of chia? Thanks!!
Yes! I would blend the flax first to make “flax meal”.
Wow that was strange. I just wrote an really long comment but after I
clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Regardless, just wanted to say superb blog!
