I am often asked for recipes for desserts, and inevitably Pecan Pie is one of the recipes that is most commonly asked for. This Keto-friendly Pecan Pie Recipe is so good that my non-Keto friends ate it over the holidays without even realizing that it was “diet food”. The Pie Filling does have a different texture since we aren’t using Karo Syrup here, but it’s really tasty and nice and sweet nonetheless.
As far as the choice of sweetener you can use in the Keto Pecan Pie Recipe, that will really be up to you and your tastebuds. My personal preference is the Lakanto Classic Monkfruit Sweetener and the Lakanto Sugar-Free Maple Syrup. If you have trouble finding them at your local grocery store I made most of the ingredients hyperlinked so that you can easily find them online for purchase too. Those two tend to have no detectible after-taste to me, unlike when I use most Stevia-based sweeteners. If you go with another type of Sugar-Free Maple Syrup, just try to avoid the ones that have Malitol or Sorbitol in them.
Other than that, this recipe is pretty easy to whip together, and other than the requisite baking time there really doesn’t feel like there is a lot of prep work or dirty dishes when making this one. If you have any tips or tricks on how you like to prepare your own Keto Pecan Pie be sure to let us know in the comments section at the bottom of this page.

- 2 TBSP Grass-Fed Butter (Salted)
- 1 TBSP Coconut Oil (Unrefined)

- 1 & 1/2 CUPS Raw Pecans (Processed)

INSTRUCTIONS
Crust
- Pre-heat the oven to 350*F.
- In a Large Mixing Bowl combine Coconut Flour, Monkfruit Sweetener, Pink Himalayan Salt, Mix well and set aside.
- In another Large Mixing Bowl combine Eggs, Grass-Fed Butter, Coconut Oil, and Pure Vanilla.
- Add the Wet ingredients to the bowl with the Dry ingredients and stir together until a consistent dough forms.
- Grease your Pie Plate and press the dough into the dish, and up along the sides of it too. No need to press the crust up out of the sides of the Pie Plate, as it would likely burn later if you did.
- Bake the Crust @ 350*F for about 12 minutes and remove from oven.
Pie Filling
- In a Food Processor pulse the Raw Pecans until they are finely chopped. You don’t want them too chunky, but you also aren’t trying to make Pecna Flour either. You be the judge of how chunky you want your Pie Filling to be.
- In a Large Mixing Bowl combine the Eggs, Monkfruit Sweetener, Grass-Fed Butter, Sugar-Free Maple Syrup, and Pure Vanilla.
- Whisk or Beat the ingredients together for a few minutes.
- Pour the Pecans in the bottom of the Pie Crust and spread around evenly.
- Pour the liquid mixture on top of the Pecans and make sure that it is spread out evenly.
- Bake the Pie at 350*F for about 50 Minutes, and set on the counter to cool before placing in the refrigerator for at least a few hours before eating.
What sort of texture does the baked pie have?
Thank you.
It is a mixture of crunchy and sticky, kind of like the top of a Pecan Roll.
