Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups Granulated low-carb sweetener (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit blend)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Chopped pecans
• 3 Large eggs
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar substitute (e.g., brown erythritol or a monk fruit blend)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Sugar-free maple syrup
• 0.5 cups Whole pecan halves (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter (softened), granulated low-carb sweetener, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Poke a few holes in the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Set aside to cool.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar substitute, melted butter, vanilla extract, and sugar-free maple syrup until smooth.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly coated with the filling mixture.

Step 7

Carefully pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and spread it evenly.

Step 8

For a decorative touch, arrange pecan halves on top of the pie filling.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Start checking at 35 minutes to avoid over-baking.

Step 10

Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature before slicing to let the filling set properly.

Step 11

Serve as is or with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch. Enjoy!
