Keto Pecan Pie: A Southern Classic Made Keto-Friendly

Are you a Southerner with a hankerin’ for pecan pie, but that pesky keto diet is standin’ in your way? Well, sugar, you’re in luck! This here recipe is a keto-fied version of the classic pecan pie that’ll have you hollerin’ “Hallelujah!”

Ingredients:

• 1 cup keto-friendly pie crust mix
• 1 cup pecans, chopped
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup keto-friendly sweetener
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the pie crust mix and melted butter. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate, making sure to cover the bottom and sides evenly.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pecans, sweetener, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt.
4. Pour the pecan mixture into the prepared pie crust.
5. Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
6. Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving.

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, use a combination of chopped pecans and walnuts.
• If you don’t have a keto-friendly pie crust mix, you can make your own by combining 1 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup coconut flour, 1/4 cup butter, and 1 egg.
• To make the pie even more decadent, top it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of keto-friendly ice cream.

The Keto-Friendly Twist:

The original pecan pie is a veritable sugar bomb, with a heaping helping of white sugar and corn syrup. But this keto version swaps out those refined carbs for keto-friendly sweeteners like erythritol or stevia, which have a negligible impact on blood sugar levels.

The result is a pie that’s just as sweet and satisfying as the traditional version, but without the guilt. So go ahead, indulge in a slice or two of this keto pecan pie, and enjoy the sweet taste of Southern comfort, guilt-free!
