Ingredients

• 1 9-inch crust Whole wheat pie crust
• 1.5 cups Mixed unsalted nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, pecans, and hazelnuts)
• 0.5 cup Chopped dates
• 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons Ground flaxseeds
• 6 tablespoons Warm water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Place the whole wheat pie crust on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, to catch any potential drips.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseeds with the warm water. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the mixed nuts and chopped dates. Toss them together to distribute the dates evenly among the nuts.

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, thickened flaxseed mixture, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients over the nut and date mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the nuts are coated.

Step 7

Spoon the nut mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Place the pie in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 10

For best results, serve the pie slightly warm and garnish with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of additional chopped nuts if desired.
