Everyone likes to make their desserts just a little less guilty, and we think taking healthier a twist on Grandma's pecan pie is just the ticket. We swapped in our nutrient-dense Karma Wrapped Cashews for pecans, and instead of a normal shortening-and-flour heavy crust we used oats and flaked coconut for a crispy touch of sweetness and bite. Serve it warm with ice cream, serve it cold with whipped cream, or just devour it as-is - we can't get enough of it!
