Instructions

Prepare the crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, and salt. Add melted butter, egg, and erythritol. Stir until a dough forms.
- Press the dough into the pie dish, ensuring it’s evenly spread along the bottom and up the sides. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the filling:
- In a large bowl, whisk together keto-friendly maple syrup, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, heavy cream, and erythritol until smooth.
- Stir in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly mixed into the filling.
Assemble the pie:
- Pour the pecan filling into the prepared crust. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Top with whole pecans for decoration, if desired.
Bake the pie:
- Bake the pie for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set and golden brown. If the crust edges are browning too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. The pie will firm up as it cools.
Serve and enjoy:
- Slice and serve the Keto Pecan Pie at room temperature or chilled. Optionally, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or keto-friendly ice cream.

Notes

Add chocolate chips to the filling for a chocolatey twist.Swap pecans for walnuts or macadamia nuts for different flavors.Use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version.To prevent the crust from overbaking, cover the edges with aluminum foil during the first 20 minutes of baking.
