Do you want to make a keto dessert this Thanksgiving?

If so, this ketogenic pecan pie recipe is just what you are looking for!

Loaded with healthy fats from grass-fed butter, eggs, and almond flour, this keto dessert is unlike anything you’ve tasted before!

Sugar-free and low-carb, this pie is sweetened with either xylitol or erythritol. These sugar alcohols cook and taste much like sugar but are indigestible by the human body so they don’t spike your blood sugar and take you out of the Keto Zone!

The best part is that this delicious ketogenic holiday dessert tastes even better than traditional pecan pie so your friends and family will not even know that what they are eating is actually a health food!

1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
1/4 cup non-GMO xylitol or erythritol
