- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup maple syrup (or agave syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Peanut Butter Filling:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (unsweetened, no added oil)
- ⅓ cup maple syrup (or agave syrup)
- 1¼ cups coconut milk (at room temperature)
- ⅓ cup coconut cream (at room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- Pinch of salt

Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder (if using), melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie dish. Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Allow to cool.
- Make the Peanut Butter Filling:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut milk, coconut cream, chia seeds, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more coconut milk as needed.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Pour the peanut butter filling into the cooled crust and smooth out the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Serve:
- Once set, slice your Vegan Peanut Butter Pie and serve chilled. Optionally, top with chocolate chips or additional peanut butter drizzle.
