Ever since trying pecan nuts for the first time in the US many years ago, I’m addicted to them and they’re since then, my absolute favourite nuts. Crunchy and a little sweet, but still light as a feather, they almost melt in your mouth. Taste and look wise they remind of walnuts, but are a little darker and milder in taste. They native to the US and Mexico, and are hence easily available everywhere over there. Heavenly pecan pie is just one of the many delicious things you can do with pecan nuts, and is a much beloved dessert for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Here in Germany, they are not as widely known yet, and mostly you can find them only in organic food stores or health food stores. They’re also little energy packets, packed with nutrients like healthy fats, minerals, proteins, fibre and B-vitamins.<\/p>\n

I love to munch them just like that, or use them for baking and cooking. They also taste amazing in a fresh and crunchy salad.<\/p>\n

Since several weeks, I was flirting with the idea to bake a kind of vegan pecan pie without gluten or refined sugar. That’s when this wonderful and yummy-tasting pecan-date tart was born. I only used dates as a sweetener, and a little coconut blossom sugar as well as oats for the crust. With a scoop of vanilla ice cream, this would make a perfect dessert for Christmas.<\/p>\n
