Servings: 8
Ingredients
- Pecans (1 and 1/2 cups, chopped)
- Erythritol (1 cup)
- Eggs (3, large)
- Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
- Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
- Unsalted butter (1/2 cup, melted)
- Almond flour (2 cups)
- Sugar-free maple syrup (1/4 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, 1/2 cup of erythritol, vanilla extract, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Mix well until a dough forms.
- Press the dough evenly into the greased pie dish, covering the bottom and sides. Ensure it is firmly packed and even.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, remaining erythritol, and sugar-free maple syrup until well combined.
- Stir in the chopped pecans into the egg mixture until they are well coated.
- Pour the pecan and egg mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading the pecans evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling has set and the crust is a golden brown. If the crust is browning too quickly, cover with aluminum foil.
- Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing. This will ensure the filling sets properly.
