Keto Pecan Pie: FAQS

Can I use a different type of flour instead of almond flour?

Almond flour is a key ingredient for keeping this pie low-carb, but you could try a keto-friendly blend like hazelnut flour. Just keep in mind that it might change the flavor and texture slightly!

What can I substitute for the xanthan gum?

If you don’t have xanthan gum, you can use ground chia seeds or flaxseeds as a thickening agent, but you may need to adjust the amount slightly for the right consistency.

How should I store leftover keto pecan pie?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, where it will stay fresh for about 4-5 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage!

Is this pie suitable for people with nut allergies?

Unfortunately, this recipe contains almond flour, so it's not suitable for those with nut allergies. You might consider looking for nut-free keto pie recipes instead.

Can I make this pie dairy-free?

Yes! You can substitute the butter with a dairy-free alternative like coconut oil or a vegan butter substitute, and use a dairy-free cream cheese to keep it dairy-free!
