Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 ½ cups whole-wheat flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter (melted (preferably unsalted))
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups pecans (chopped or whole)
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips (dark)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a pie pan mix together crust ingredients thoroughly including flour, salt, butter, and milk. Squeeze the dough into a ball to make sure there is enough moisture. If it crumbles into pieces too easily then add another splash of milk.
  • Shape the crust by thinning it out with your fingers/hands until the pie dish is evenly covered (pictured above). Feel free to make the edges look “fancy” with a fork.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs, sugar, syrup, butter, vanilla, and salt. Fold in the pecans and chocolate chips.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake until pie is set, about 20 – 25 minutes.
  • Let cool for 5 or 10 minutes before serving. We think it is best topped with a little vanilla ice cream!
