INGREDIENTS:

1 cup quick-cooking old-fashioned oats
1 cup whole wheat flour
¼ cup ground raw almonds
1 Tbsp. + ¼ cup pure maple syrup (or raw honey), divided use
½ tsp. sea salt, divided use
3 Tbsp. + ¼ cup extra-virgin organic coconut oil
1 Tbsp. water
1½ cups raw pecan halves, divided use
6 large medjool dates, coarsely chopped
1 large egg white
1 large sweet potato, baked, skin removed, mashed
¼ tsp. ground ginger

To prepare this delicious Thanksgiving Day staple, complete step-by-step instructions can be found on The Beachbody Blog.

Tip:
• This pie is extremely rich, so a serving size is small than a regular slice of pie.
• For a vegan version eliminate egg white. This pie will be denser, so it is best served warm, or cold (out of the refrigerator).
