A delicious and wholesome pecan pie recipe that is sugar-free and suitable for people managing diabetes, featuring a tender almond flour crust and a rich, nutty filling sweetened with natural sugar substitutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 2 tbsp granulated erythritol
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup granulated erythritol
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup light corn syrup substitute (allulose syrup recommended)
  • 1 1/2 cups toasted chopped pecans
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, 2 tablespoons erythritol, and a pinch of salt. Add softened butter and 1 large egg. Mix until dough comes together, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch pie dish, about 1/4 inch thick. Prick the bottom lightly with a fork.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes until just set and starting to turn golden. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 3/4 cup erythritol, almond milk, vanilla extract, allulose syrup, salt, and cinnamon until smooth and frothy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Fold in toasted chopped pecans gently with a spatula.
  6. Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center. A toothpick near the edge should come out clean.
  8. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Notes

If pecans brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Use a pie crust shield or foil strips to protect crust edges from over-browning. Almond flour brands vary; if crust is crumbly, add a teaspoon of water or an extra egg yolk. Toast pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes or in the oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes. Cool pie completely before slicing to allow filling to set.
