A chocolate-covered tart is anyone’s idea of a celebration dish! This pecan tart will not disappoint. It can take as little as ten minutes to prepare as you do not have to pre-bake the base which makes it easier.

Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie

– Freerange Human
Ingredients: coconut flour, coconut sugar, sea salt, grass-fed butter, lard, ice water, eggs, coconut flour, coconut milk, vanilla extract, pecan halves, chocolate chips.

This recipe follows the idea of a pecan pie recipe from Kentucky. The addition of the chocolate chips gives this pie a slightly different texture, but it still has the appeal of the traditional flavors. Why not try it on the family?

Ingredients: pecans, almond flour, coconut flour, unrefined salt, egg, maple syrup, butter, ghee, coconut oil, eggs, maple syrup, coconut sugar, molasses, unrefined salt.

Although this tart is grain-free, one of its other attractions is that the pecans are toasted before using them in this recipe. Also, by using molasses in the filling, this helps to create a sticky, delicious tart.

Mini Cinnamon Pecan Pies

Ingredients: ghee, pure maple syrup, Himalayan salt, whole vanilla bean, raw pecans, raw honey, ground ceylon cinnamon, nutmeg.

This has got to be the ultimate in holiday decadence! Unlike some other nut butters, because you only break up some of the pecans at the end, you end up with a creamy and crunchy, sweet and delicious butter that will keep in an airtight jar for a few weeks – if you are lucky!

Paleo Pecan Pie

– Bakerita
Ingredients: almond flour, salt, coconut oil, coconut sugar, egg, coconut sugar, maple syrup, coconut oil, almond milk, vanilla extract, pecans.

This is another version of a healthier pecan pie, but the crust is partly what makes this recipe different. After mixing the ingredients for the crust, you chill the mixture in the freezer to re-set the coconut oil. This results in a flaky, crumbly crust like all the best pecan pies!
