1.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend Shop
0.75 cup granulated sugar Shop
0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 cup chopped pecans Shop
0.5 cup corn syrup or maple syrup Shop
1 tsp pure vanilla extract Shop
0.5 tsp salt

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9-inch pie plate with parchment paper, ensuring it extends slightly up the sides. This will help prevent sticking and make for easier removal of the pie.
2 In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Then, beat in the two large eggs one at a time, followed by the pure vanilla extract, until well combined and the mixture is smooth.
3 Gradually add the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend and the salt to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and hold its shape.
4 Gently fold in the chopped pecans and the corn syrup (or maple syrup) into the batter until evenly distributed. The mixture will become quite thick and glossy.
5 Spoon the pecan pie filling evenly into the prepared pie plate, spreading it to the edges. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are golden brown. The center should be mostly firm with a slight wobble. Allow the gluten-free pecan pie to cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours before slicing and serving, as it will continue to firm up as it cools.

Bake until the filling is set at the edges and puffs slightly in the center. Shield the edges with foil if they brown early.
