Pre heat the oven to 170C
Start with the base by blitzing the almonds to a flour in a food processor & then adding the buckwheat flour, maple syrup, dates & coconut oil. Blitz to a rough dough & then press into your greased tart tins. Bake in the oven for 15 mins until golden & hardened. Leave to cool a little before adding the filling
Make the filling by first blitzing the pecans until a sticky crumb consistency, next add the dates & cashew butter & blitz until smooth. Spread into the baked crusts
For the topping, spread the pecans in a roasting tray & cover with maple syrup & cinnamon & bake for 5 mins until crunchy. Use these to decorate the top. Put the completed pie in the fridge to set for an hour or so & then take out of the tins & enjoy
