  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil, melted, plus more for pan
  • 2 cups pecans, walnuts, or almonds
  • 5 tablespoons agave syrup (nectar), divided
  • 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
  • Special Equipment

    A 12-cup muffin pan
  • Ingredient Info

    Agave syrup and coconut oil are available at natural foods stores and some supermarkets.

Preparation

  • Lightly brush muffin cups with coconut oil. Set aside. Pulse nuts in a food processor until coarsely ground. Add 3 Tbsp. agave syrup, flour, ginger, salt, and 2 tsp. coconut oil. Process until coarse dough forms. Gather into a ball. Press 1 heaping Tbsp. dough firmly onto bottom and up sides of each muffin cup. Chill for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350°. Bake crusts until firm and golden around edges, 8–10 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before removing. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Let cool completely; store airtight at room temperature.
  • Place strawberries, lemon juice, and remaining 2 Tbsp. agave syrup in a medium bowl; scrape in vanilla seeds (save bean for another use). Stir well, crushing a few berries to release their juices.
  • Using a spatula or butter knife, remove tart shells from pan and fill with strawberry mixture. Serve immediately.
