Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter (room temperature)

  • 1 1/2 cups + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the flax egg by mixing ground flaxseed with water in a bowl and letting it thicken for about 5-10 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, cream together room temperature vegan butter and sugars until fluffy. Add in the prepared flax egg, maple syrup, and vanilla bean paste; mix well.
  3. In another bowl, whisk flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in chopped pecans.
  5. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
