Pecan Pie Recipe – No Butter or Corn Syrup

My hubby and I both LOVE pecan pie at Thanksgiving and well, throughout the year, given the opportunity.  I decided to try and see if my hubby would like a pie with no butter or corn syrup.  I had the first piece and it was just as sweet, just as satisfying, but the ooey gooey stickiness of a traditional pecan pie wasn’t there.  Which, is completely fine with me, but I wondered what the hubby thought.  At first he thought it was a chocolate pecan pie, but no, the darkness just came from the dark brown sugar I used.  He tried it, and he liked it!  It is NOT your traditional pecan pie, but it is a generally healthier version that contains no corn syrup, which is a great thing!  It still has tons of sugar, so it’s not “healthy,” but it is a “healthier” version.  I’m sure you could use a sugar substitute, like agave nectar or anything, really.  Here’s the recipe if you’d like to try it:
