Pie pastry is moulded into a muffin pan and then filled with raisins, nuts and a gooey and sweet buttery, maple filling. If you’ve never had a butter tart before, just think of a tiny pie filled with a gooey maple filling, raisins, and nuts. You can always find these little treats in Canadian bakeries, at bake sales, or around the holidays.
The only difference is that my recipe uses vegan ingredients while still tasting like the original! Should the filling be set or runny? This sweet and buttery treat hails from our true and native land, with the earliest known recipe being published in 1900 by a cook in Barrie, Ontario. Butter tarts are about the same size as a muffin, but the flavors are completely original. A muffin tin is stuffed with small circles of pie pastry, then filled with a maple butter mixture along with raisins and nuts. Every bite is gooey in the best way and surrounded by a sweet and crunchy crust. Traditional butter tarts are not vegan because they contain butter and eggs, but they can easily be made vegan, despite the oxymoron for a name.
The combination of the coconut milk and arrowroot “sets” the tarts just enough to keep them nice and gooey. Homemade pastry: This is for the vegan tart cases. You can make this as per my instructions or use storebought pie dough. You can use a cutter or find a mug or glass the right size and use that. Add each circle to the wells of a muffin pan. No need to be fussy here.
Butter tarts should look a little rustic! Place them in the fridge while you make the filling. Leave the recipe as-is if you prefer a semi-set, slightly liquidy filling, or add an extra half tablespoon of arrowroot powder or cornstarch to thicken it up a little more. They’ll still be delicious no matter which way you go! Use your best non-stick muffin pan or you might struggle to get them out. I highly recommend using USA Pan Muffin Pans. I use all of their bakeware and love it.
