Healthier version of Pecan Pies





I was browsing through Facebook posts when I found this video from Tip Hero on Mini Pecan Pies using dates. Since I looooveeeee pecan pies, this recipe really attracts my attention especially it is a healthier version recipe and the steps are quite easy. So I quickly get to baking without wasting any time since I already have a box of dates in my fridge and also my frozen homemade pie dough that I have make ahead of time which is part of my meal planning menu. The result is so delicious and even my husband that does not eat dates also like this.(*psst..he still doesn't know that I used dates in the recipe 😁)








Recipe source: Tip Hero

1 sheet of Pie dough
12 pitted Dates
2 Large Eggs
¼ tsp of Nutmeg
¼ tsp of Salt
¾ tsp of Cinnamon
½ tsp of Vanilla extract
2 Tbsp of Honey (original recipe uses Molasses, but I don't have any so I substitute this with honey)

  1. Prepare pie dough, cut into small circle and put each in greased mini muffin tin.
  2. Put dates and eggs in a food processor and processed until the dates has become like a puree.
  3. Then add nutmeg, salt, cinnamon, vanilla extract, honey, maple syrup and butter and continue pulsing until all ingredients has thoroughly mix.
  4. Next add in pecan and pulse few times until pecan are finely chopped.
  5. Scoop about a teaspoon or so of the mixture in each of the muffin tin that has been layered with the pie dough. Arrange 1 or half of pecan in each mini pies for decoration.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven (175 degree Celcius) for about 20 mins or until done.
