Ingredients for Savory Keto Pie Crust
This flaky, buttery, and gluten-free keto pie crust requires just five simple low-carb ingredients, plus a few pantry staples for the perfect texture.
- almond flour – Provides a rich, nutty flavor and a sturdy texture. Use finely ground almond flour for the best results. Almond meal is too coarse and may make the crust crumbly.
- coconut flour – Helps absorb excess moisture and adds structure to the crust. Since coconut flour is very absorbent, a small amount goes a long way!
- olive oil – Adds moisture and flakiness to the dough. You can substitute with melted butter or avocado oil for a slightly different flavor.
- egg – Acts as a binding agent to hold the crust together while giving it a light, tender texture.
- baking powder – Gives the crust a slight lift, making it less dense and more crisp when baked.
- salt – Enhances the savory flavor and balances the nutty taste of the almond flour.
- water (if needed) – Helps bring the dough together if it feels too dry. Add one tablespoon at a time to avoid making the dough too sticky.
How to Make Gluten-Free Savory Pie Crust?
Making the perfect crispy and flaky keto pie crust is easier than you think! With just a few simple steps, you’ll have a sturdy, golden-brown crust ready for your favorite savory fillings.
- Mix the Dough: To make things super easy, add all the ingredients to a food processor and pulse until a ball of dough forms. The texture should be slightly crumbly yet sticky—this is normal! If needed, add a little water (one tablespoon at a time) to help it come together.
- Press Into the Pan: Transfer the dough to a greased pie pan. Lightly oil your fingers and press it evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pan. This ensures a smooth, even crust that bakes perfectly.
- Poke Holes: Use a fork to poke holes into the bottom of the crust. This prevents air bubbles and helps it bake evenly.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the crust for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Cool & Fill: Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before adding your favorite savory filling—like quiche, salmon pie, or a cheesy bacon and egg pie.
How to Store Gluten-Free Savory Pie Crust
This keto-friendly pie crust is easy to make ahead of time, and storing it properly ensures it stays crispy and delicious for whenever you need it!
- Fridge: Once fully cooled, wrap the crust in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes before adding the filling.
- Freezer: Let the crust cool completely, then wrap it in plastic wrap and foil or place it in an airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months. When needed, thaw at room temperature and crisp it in the oven for a few minutes before adding the filling.
