July 14 is Pecan Pie Day and we found this healthy alternative to this delicious dessert that is made without corn syrup. This homemade pecan pie made with a healthy pie crust and healthy pecan pie filling is so easy and delicious – it’s awesome to enjoy a family favorite without sacrificing your healthy eating goals. Making this healthy was not too hard at all, thanks this healthy pie crust recipe, which uses whole wheat pastry flour and coconut oil instead of butter. Making pecan pie without corn syrup and refined sugars will also make it healthier. A great substitute for corn syrup in pecan pie is raw honey and it works beautifully as a substitute. Enjoy!
