Pecan Pie Recipe No Corn Syrup
Pecan pie without corn syrup, sweetened naturally with dates and maple syrup for a gooey, caramel-like filling made in a blender and toasted pecans.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 7 ounce prepared pie crust , thawed according to package directions (tin pan)
- 3 cups whole pecans
- 3 eggs
- ¾ cup pitted dates
- ¾ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Place the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and toast for 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a high-speed blender, add the eggs, dates, maple syrup, brown sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend for 2–3 minutes, or until smooth.
- Add about 2 ½ cups of the toasted pecans to the prepared pie crust. Reserve the nicest-looking pecans for decorating. Pour the egg mixture over the pecans, then gently shake the crust to spread the filling into an even layer. Use the remaining pecans to decorate the top of the pie.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the center of the pie is set. Let cool for about 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Notes
My Top Tip: Set the pie tin on a baking sheet before you pour in the filling, then place the baking sheet in the oven. This makes it easier to move the pecan pie into the oven without any bending or spilling.
Storage: Cover the pecan pie with plastic wrap or foil and store it in the fridge for 4–5 days. To reheat, remove it from the fridge and let it come to room temperature, then bake in the oven at 350ºF for a few minutes until warmed through.
Freezing: You can freeze the pecan pie whole or in slices. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and then again in foil. It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
