Servings: 1 9 inch pie or 8 slices
Calories: 526kcal
Ingredients
- 1 uncooked pie crust **Recipe below
- 2 flax eggs 2 TB flax meal with 4 TB water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- 1 stick Earth Balance Vegan butter soft
- 1.5 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup nuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
- Take your uncooked pie crust and prepare it in a pie pan. Stick in the fridge or freezer while you're preparing the filling.
- Make your flax egg and set it aside.
- Take your mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix your softened butter, sugars, salt, and vanilla; add flax egg and mix well once mixed. Add your flour and mix until combined, then stir in your chocolate chips and nuts if using. Take out your pie pan, pour the filling into it, and spread with a spatula until it's even (it is a thick mixture).
- Bake in the oven for 45- 60 minutes. It will get a golden crackly top on it, it may not look done, and some of the oil separates a bit; once cool, it's not oily on the top. It's done when a knife comes out clean about halfway into the pie. This is best served warm with vegan ice cream. We usually let it cool for a few hours and heat it before serving.

Storing- This is best stored covered in an airtight container or wrapped with plastic wrap on the counter or in the fridge. If it's in the fridge, it will last up to 5 days, on the counter for 3 days.
Freezing- Let it cool completely before placing it in a freezer-safe container. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Expert Tips and Tricks
- When it first comes out of the oven, it looks like a bit of an oily mess. Rest assured, that oil soaks back in, and it just looks like a crackled top. It can be a little challenging to tell when this chocolate chip pie is done.
- For the best flavor and results, let this sit so it has time to cool for a couple hours so that it has time to set up.
- This tastes best with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (vegan, of course), or you could use a scoop of non-dairy whipped cream and a drizzle of vegan chocolate sauce.
