Grain Free Pecan Tart

  • Author: Katja from Savory Lotus
  • Yield: one 4 x 13 tart 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups pecans, divided

FOR CRUST:

  • 1 and 1/2 cups blanched almond flour (like this)
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/4 tsp unrefined salt
  • 1 egg, whisked
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp butter, ghee (like this), or coconut oil, softened

FOR FILLING:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp butter, ghee, or coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar (like this)
  • 2 tbsp molasses
  • 1/2 tsp unrefined salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350’F. Place one and half cups of the pecans onto a baking sheet and toast for 10-12 minutes, giving the pan a shake once or twice for even baking. Remove from oven and set aside.
  2. In a food processor, pulse half cup of pecans until like a very coarse flour. Add almond flour, coconut flour, and salt. Pulse to combine. Add egg, maple syrup, and fat of choice and process until fully incorporated.
  3. Using your fingers, press mixture into a 4×13 tart pan. Using thin strips of aluminum foil, loosely cover the sides of the crust. Poke the bottom of the crust all over with a fork (see picture below) and bake at 350″f for 14 minutes. Remove from oven, remove tin foil, and cool completely.
  4. In a medium pot, whisk together maple syrup and fat of choice. Heat on medium heat and add coconut sugar, molasses, and salt. Whisk until fully incorporated. Allow to simmer gently for 1 minute, stirring continually.
  5. Remove from heat, pour into a large bowl, and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Whisk in eggs, one at a time.
  6. Scatter toasted pecans evenly onto pre-baked crust. Slowly pour wet mixture over pecans, giving the tart pan a little jiggle to evenly distribute.
  7. Bake tart for 25-30 minutes, until set and slightly puffed up. Allow to cool completely before cutting and serving.
