FAQ:
Can I use other nuts instead of pecans? Yes! Walnuts, almonds, or cashews would work well in this recipe, but pecans give it that signature pecan pie flavor. Feel free to experiment with your favorite nuts.
Do I have to use oats? Oats are optional. They add a bit of texture and help with binding the mixture, but you can omit them if you prefer a smoother consistency.
Can I make these vegan? Absolutely! This recipe is already vegan-friendly if you use maple syrup (instead of honey) and coconut oil. Just be sure to use plant-based alternatives for any additional ingredients.
How can I make these nut-free? For a nut-free version, you can substitute the pecans with seeds, such as sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds, or even use a seed butter as a binder.
