PECAN PIE

CRUST:
3/4 cup blanched almond flour or pecan meal
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup coconut oil or butter
1/2 cup Just Like Sugar (or Swerve)
1 tsp stevia glycerite
1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
1 egg

FILLING:
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup erythritol (or Swerve)
1 tsp stevia glycerite
1 cup NATURE'S HOLLOW xylitol syrup
2 TBS butter or coconut oil, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups pecans


CRUST: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9 inch springform pan. In a medium bowl, mix ingredients. NOTE: Just Like Sugar is 96g fiber/cup; do not add to "melted" butter. This will cause it to gel up and get hard. This will be a thick pie dough, press onto bottom of pie pan. Place in oven to pre-bake the crust. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

FILLING: In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the sweetener. Add the butter, syrup, and vanilla then add the pecans. Pour into the crust (over edges with foil) and bake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes or until set. Serve with my "healthified" ice cream! Makes 12 servings.

  1. Can you use something other than xylitol or even malitol, these 2 just do not work with me? Thanks!

  2. Yep! If you have a sugar free syrup that uses a different sweetener, that would work too.

    Happy baking!

  6. This looks great! Though I need to find a sub for xylitol as I refuse to have it in my house. Apart from the fact that the few times I've tried anything sweetened with xylitol I was unable to leave the bathroom for hours on end with my guts being ripped apart, xylitol is also super-deadly for dogs. And since I have a dog who does her best to eat anything not nailed down I do my best to make sure I don't keep dog-deadly foods in the house. But pecan pie is a real fave of mine!

  7. You could try a different pancake syrup that is sugar free that uses a different sweetener.

    Happy eating;)

  8. Is it a problem to make without the stevia glycerite?

    ReplyDelete
  9. Nope, you can totally make it without the stevia. I just like to blend my sweeteners for a better sweet flavor.

    Happy eating!

  10. Any sub for the whey or egg white protein...made something with it last night and did not like the taste at all...Could Coconut or some other flour work instead or is the protein doing something else too (besides adding protein : ) ???
