I’m continuing my obsession with super easy vegan recipes with this pie recipe. Truth be told, I needed a super easy pie recipe that required minimal ingredients for my Easy Vegan Thanksgiving Dinner made with only 10 Products post. But this pie is more than just easy, it’s delicious, too!
Why This Recipe is a Winner
- Using a chocolate pudding mix adds lots of chocolate flavor, and keeps this recipe easy to make
- Creamy peanut butter is added to the pie, infusing each bite with rich chocolate and peanut butter flavors
- An Oreo pie crust adds a crunchy texture for the crust, a perfect foundation for any pie.
What You Need
You can find the full printable recipe, including ingredient quantities, below. But first, here are some explanations of ingredients and steps to help you make this recipe perfect every time.
- Lemon — We’ll use both the zest and the juice of the lemon.
- Oats — I used rolled oats for this recipe, but you can substitute instant oats.
- Chia — We’ll add some ground chia seeds to create a thicker texture. You can use whole chia seeds; I just prefer ground because it creates a smoother finished texture.
- Syrup — I used maple syrup, but you can substitute agave nectar.
- Milk — We’ll use almond milk for the best overnight oats! Substitute your favorite plant-based milk.
- Yogurt — I love adding some plant-based yogurt (plain, unsweetened) for an even more tangy flavor.
- Protein Powder — I add some vanilla protein powder for increased flavor and nutrients. If your protein powder is not sweetened, you may want to add an extra teaspoon or two of sweetener.
- Cornstarch — We’ll use cornstarch to thicken the lemon curd topping.
- Turmeric — A pinch of turmeric makes that lemon curd sunny yellow.
- Chocolate Pudding Mix — You’ll need one 5.1 oz box of Chocolate Cook n Serve Jell-O Pudding which is a favorite accidentally vegan product.
- Plant-based milk — Any favorite plant-based milk will work, either vanilla-flavored or plain.
- Peanut Butter — I prefer using creamy peanut butter for this recipe.
- Pie Crust — You’ll need a pie crust, like an Oreo pie crust (either homemade or store-bought), or a vegan graham cracker pie crust.
- Vegan Whipped Cream — Adding some Vegan Whipped Cream is optional, but it makes a big difference!
