Keto Pecan Pie

Keto pecan pie is a delicious low-carb version of the classic pecan pie that is suitable for those following a ketogenic diet. Traditional pecan pie is typically loaded with sugar and corn syrup, but in a keto pecan pie, these high-carb ingredients are replaced with keto-friendly alternatives

Keto Pecan Pie

Ingredients:

For the pie crust (or you can use a pre-made keto-friendly crust):

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour

• 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil

• 1 egg

• 1 tablespoon erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener

• A pinch of salt

For the filling:

• 1 1/2 cups pecan halves

• 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener

• 1/2 cup sugar-free maple syrup

• 1/3 cup melted butter

• 2 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

• In a bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter or coconut oil, egg, sweetener, and a pinch of salt to make the pie crust. Mix until a dough forms.

• Press the dough into a greased pie dish to create the pie crust. You can use a fork to prick the crust to prevent it from puffing up during baking. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until it's slightly golden. Remove and let it cool.

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered erythritol (or sweetener of your choice), sugar-free maple syrup, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to make the pecan pie filling.

• Arrange the pecan halves in the cooled pie crust.

• Pour the pecan pie filling over the pecans.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

• Allow the pie to cool before serving. It will firm up as it cools.

• Slice and serve your keto pecan pie. You can also top it with some whipped cream made from heavy cream and your preferred keto-friendly sweetener.

This keto pecan pie is a wonderful dessert option for those following a low-carb or ketogenic diet. It has all the flavors of traditional pecan pie without the high sugar content. Enjoy!
