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

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. 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.
  3. Press the dough evenly into the greased pie dish, covering the bottom and sides. Ensure it is firmly packed and even.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, remaining erythritol, and sugar-free maple syrup until well combined.
  5. Stir in the chopped pecans into the egg mixture until they are well coated.
  6. Pour the pecan and egg mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading the pecans evenly.
  7. 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.
  8. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing. This will ensure the filling sets properly.
