Recipe Summary:

• Total Time: 55 minutes
• Servings: 8
• Skill Level: Beginner

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups almond flour
• ¼ cup melted coconut oil
• 2 tbsp erythritol
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 ½ cups pecan halves
• ¾ cup pure maple syrup
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted coconut oil, erythritol, and salt until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form the crust.
4. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven to cool slightly.
5. While the crust cools, arrange the pecan halves evenly over the base of the crust.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
7. Pour the egg mixture over the pecans in the pie crust.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pie is golden brown.
9. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Helpful Tips:

• If desired, partially toast the pecan halves before adding them to the pie for an extra depth of flavor.
• Ensure the pie cools completely to allow the filling to set properly.

Storage Instructions:

• Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Ingredient Substitutions:

Pairings:
