Switch to Keto with the Best Pecan Pie Recipe

Think the ketogenic diet is boring? This keto pecan pie recipe will prove you wrong. Even better, it’s sugar-free so you can indulge without the guilt (in moderation).

What Is the Ketogenic Diet? It is a high-fat, low-carb diet that brings the body into a state of ketosis. Ketosis is a metabolic state where the body uses fat molecules called ketones as fuel. 

A common misperception is that keto doesn’t allow for desserts like your classic pecan pie. With a few simple tweaks to the recipe, you can make an unhealthy dessert into a keto-friendly one. Gather your baking dishes and ingredients and make this low-carb pecan pie today. 

No-Carb Pie Crust

For our keto pecan pie recipe, we’ll divide this into two parts: the pie crust and the pecan filling. You can make the crust, which can be your base for other pie recipes, ahead of time and store in the refrigerator.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tbsp butter, grass-fed and melted
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 organic egg
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp powdered sweetener 

Note: Add the sweetener if you’re making a pie crust. If you’re trying to make a quiche, don’t add it.  

Directions:

1. Mix all the ingredients into a food processor. Combine them until they ball up. 

2. Dump into the pie crust and spread thin. 

3. Wait for the crust to thicken so you can press it quite thinly around your pie plate.

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. 

Tip: You can store this in the refrigerator for a couple for days if you want to make this in advance.
