Ingredients

Crust:

  • 2 ⅔ cups almond flour
  • 3 teaspoon coconut flour
  • 3 tablespoon cold butter
  • 1 tablespoon cold water

Filling:

  • 12 tablespoon softened butter
  • 1.5 cup Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 oz heavy cream
  • 2 egg
  • 2 teaspoon molasses ***
  • 1.5 cups pecans chopped (save ½ cup or so whole for the top)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate very well with butter or shortening. 
  • Put the almond flour, coconut flour, and butter in a food processor and pulse until crumbs form. Add the water and pulse until it comes together in a dough. Press into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the prepared pie plate. Prick the bottoms with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine the butter and sweetener. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the vanilla, molasses, heavy cream, and egg. Beat until combined. 
  • Stir in the chopped pecans. (Optional: set some aside to make a design on the top). Pour over the baked crust. The filling will be thick. Bake for 40-45 minutes until no longer jiggly and golden brown.
  • Cool completely. I prefer to make this a couple of days ahead of time. The flavor improves after being in the fridge for a bit.

Notes

Molasses: One teaspoon of molasses has 5 carbs. This recipe has 12 servings so each piece has less than 1 carb from the molasses. It is used for flavor, not sweetness, in this recipe. But you can just leave it out if you prefer. Alternatively, you can sub in a brown sugar sweetener such as Swerve Brown.
Gooiness: I love my pecan pie chock full of pecans. If you prefer a gooier pie simply cut the amount of pecans back to just 1 cup.
Notes on Sweeteners:
I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.
To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit sweetener use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for. 
 
To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.
Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.
