Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup almond flour if you don’t have almond flour, 1 1/3 cup slivered almonds ground yields 1 ¼ cup almond flour
  • 1 cup pecans or walnuts
  • 4 teaspoons potato starch
  • 5 tablespoons oil
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons potato starch or almond flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • About 1 and ¼ cups pecans or more

Instructions

  • Crust Instructions: 
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Place all crust ingredients in a food processor fitted with the s-blade and pulse for 15 seconds, or until there are no large chunks of nuts left. The nuts should be 1/8” or smaller in size.
  • Choose a serving/baking option:
  • Option A) “Tuffins”: tart/muffin hybrids:
  • Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners, preferably without ridges on the sides (I recommend PaperChef Large Parchment cups). Press a rounded tablespoon onto the bottom of each liner and more than halfway up the sides. Bake 10-13 minutes. Let cool at least 20 minutes before filling. CAREFULLY remove the paper liner. The crust should create a pie crust effect for the filling and you should have little mini pies.
  • Option B) One large tart:  
  • Press crust bottom into the bottom of your (preferably) 9” round Pyrex and more than halfway up the sides.  Bake 10-13 minutes. Let cool at least 20 minutes before filling. 
  • Filling Instructions: 
  • Combine filling ingredients. Pour into baked crust, not filling beyond the crust border, and bake an additional 25-35 minutes.
