Low-carb Pumpkin Pie

This is another perfect Thanksgiving dessert that can be made low-carb. It's not based off of a high carb fruit or vegetable and it absolutely has a place at your Thanksgiving dinner. This is an excellent way to keep the carbs down in one of the heaviest meals of the year. 

The Crust

This is a really basic keto pie crust that can be the basis of any kind of pie you'd like to make. You can use it for just about anything, so I would recommend making a few of these crusts and freezing or refrigerating them for future pie-baking. You should certainly pre-bake before freezing, but it's not absolutely necessary. The key ingredient to this recipe is a low-carb flour, such as super-fine almond flour or coconut flour. This recipe makes a 9 in pie crust. 

Ingredients (Crust):

- 2 1/2 Cups Almond Flour

- 1/4 Cup KetoGoods Allulose Syrup

- 1/4 tsp Salt

- 1/4 cup ghee or melted butter

- 1 egg

Instructions (Crust):

- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

- Line a 9 inch pie pan with parchment paper. Otherwise, grease well!

- Mix together your almond flour, allulose syrup, and salt in a bowl.

- Slowly stir in your melted butter/ghee and your egg. Mix until all ingredients are combined. Expect your dough to be a little dry and crumbly, but mix to ensure there are no more powder left.

- Push your dough into the pan you prepared earlier. Press it back together if it falls apart.

- Bake for about 10 minutes until it is a very light golden color.

- cool completely, then put into the refrigerator.
