Each year during the holidays, so many of us run into the same dilemma: there are simply too many choices for dessert!

Sweet potato pudding" Or what about pecan pie"""

Of course the obvious answer to all of these questions is ?Yes!?

So today’s bite-sized pecan tassies are a welcome addition to any Thanksgiving or holiday menu, because they enable you to have your pecan pie and still save room for all of the other desserts on the table.

The vegan recipe calls for the following ingredients: chopped pecans, pure maple syrup or agave, ground flax, flour, sugar (unrefined if desired), baking powder, salt, vegan butter, and molasses.

Any molasses will work here, so use whatever you have on hand or can find at the store. I like using blackstrap molasses for its myriad health benefits – the sweetener is surprisingly high in both calcium and iron.

Vegan butter has come a long way from the hydrogenated margarine of the 1980s. Look for brands such as Melt, Earth Balance, or Miyokos, all of which can be substituted for dairy butter in an equal amount in recipes such as these cookies.
