Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the batter. You can substitute the chocolate chips with white chocolate or butterscotch chips for a different taste. If you don't have pecans or walnuts, any nut like almonds or hazelnuts can work well. Be sure to check the pie about 5 minutes before the end of baking to avoid overcooking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes! You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to check that all other ingredients, especially the chocolate chips, are gluten-free as well.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the edges are set and the center looks slightly soft but not liquid. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time.
Can I add other ingredients to the batter?
Absolutely! You can mix in shredded coconut, dried cranberries, or even chunks of caramel for added flavor and texture. Just be mindful of the total volume of ingredients to ensure proper baking.
