Why You’ll Love My Keto Pecan Pie Recipe
This low carb pecan pie recipe has all of the flavors of a traditional pecan pie (buttery, nutty, rich, indulgent, and sweet), but it’s sugar-free, gluten-free, and has way fewer carbs.
Here are even more reasons you’ll love it:
- The keto crust is ready in just a few minutes from scratch using low carb ingredients.
- Easy to make ahead
- No corn syrup or brown sugar
- It tastes just like the traditional pecan pie minus the carbs
- A slice has about 5 grams of net carbs
Is Pecan Pie Keto?
Traditional Pecan Pie is not keto-friendly, not even low carb, because it is loaded with brown sugar and sticky sweet corn syrup. Only one slice of classic pecan pie (122g) has a whopping total of 64 grams of carbs.
Ingredients For Keto Pecan Pie
I start by making the crust from scratch, and this recipe features both coconut and almond flour, but I also have a perfect coconut flour crust recipe for this pecan pie recipe.

For the Grain-Free Pie Crust
- Almond Flour & Coconut Flour– We mix these two flours to get the best texture for the crust.
- Butter – Any great pecan pie recipe starts with high-quality softened butter.
- Sweetener – I love using powdered sweeteners such as Erythritol or Monk Fruit as they dissolve faster, and after baking, you don’t end up with the crunchy crystals.
- Eggs – One large egg is needed to bind all the ingredients together.
For The Sugar Free Pecan Filling :
- Pecans– The key ingredient in this recipe, so we’ll need 2 1/2 cups for the whole pie. Pecans have only 4 grams of carbs for each 1/4 cup and are loaded with healthy fats.
- Butter – A staple ingredient in any pecan pie filling that adds great buttery flavor and has zero carbs. Butter is essential in this pie since we’re not using corn syrup.
- Eggs – Eggs are used in many baked goods. It helps to hold the filling together.
- Sweetener – To add a touch of sweetness and make the pie sticky and gooey, use your favorite sweetener. I love using a keto brown sugar substitute for the best flavor, but it works just as fine with any sweetener.
- Vanilla Extract – A touch of vanilla extract pairs well with the pecans and sweetener.
How To Make Keto Pecan Pie
I love making keto pecan pie from scratch because the crust it’s super easy to make, but you can use a store-bought low carb pecan crust or walnut pie crust to make this recipe even quicker.
In just a few easy steps, make the most delicious keto pecan pie ever (trust me!):
To make the crust – combine all the ingredients for the crust using a spatula, then your hands. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch greased round pie pan. Poke some holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges start to brown.
Make the keto pecan pie filling – Prepare the filling while the crust is cooling and pour the mixture over the crust. Top the pie with pecans. Use more pecans if you have!
Bake for 40-45 minutes at 400F/ 200C, or until golden brown and firm in the center. Slice and enjoy!
Tips For Making This Delicious Keto Pecan Pie
- To protect the sides of the pie from burning, place a ring of aluminum foil over the crust halfway through.
- The best way to bake this pie is until the center is still jiggly and the sides are firm.
- You can make this keto pecan ahead by making the crust 2-3 days earlier.
How Do You Know That The Pecan Pie Is Done?
You can tell if your keto pecan pie is done in a few different ways:
- The first method is to check it and see what color it is. It should have a golden brown color.
- Another thing that you should check is the pecan pie’s center. It should jiggle but not be too runny. Cook for a few more minutes if the center isn’t set enough.
How To Store Keto Pecan Pie
- Refrigerator – I like to store this keto pecan pie in the refrigerator for up to a week in an air-tight container.
- Freezer-Place each slice in a small zip-lock bag or wrap in plastic, and freeze for up to 3 months.
How To Serve Low Carb Pecan Pie
Pecan pie is best served warm topped with a generous scoop of low-carb ice cream on top. You may replace the ice cream with sugar-free whipped cream or some homemade keto caramel sauce if you choose.
Recipe Variations
- Add chocolate to the pecan pie filling.
- Bake in a 9×9 inch pan to make the best keto pecan bars.
- Add some spices to the filling – pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and whatever else you like.
