Carbs in Traditional Pecan Pie

Sugar Free Pecan Pie Recipe
“This is the BEST dessert you have EVER made!!!”, says the picky hubby who still loves white sugar and white flour products.
Though it’s not the classic pecan pie because I love chocolate, it is a chocolate pecan pie made completely from scratch, low carb and gluten free.
How can it be possible? People do crazy things when their birthday comes around and they want a sweet treat. Mine is November 24th!
On my birthday, I didn’t want cake, I wanted a good pecan pie.
We celebrate my birthday with extended family on Thanksgiving every year since I was a baby. So although this pie might be late to the party in the grand scheme of getting Thanksgiving keto pie recipes to you on the blog, it was worth waiting for.
Holiday Keto Pie Recipe
It all began with an idea once I made the Salted Caramel Sauce. I knew it would be the most amazing filling mixture used in a keto pie so I got experimenting. Had to make it multiple times but no one complained.
Had to make the awesome low carb, grain free keto pie crust a few times too, but isn’t anything in life that’s extraordinary worth a little bit of hard work? I believe it is.
This keto pie makes me happy, not only because it’s my birthday, but because it was on my foodie bucket list for a very long time and I finally tackled and successfully accomplished it. I feel that victory in my soul and it thrills me to share it with you.
My Cookbooks
I wrote this keto recipe in 2014 when I turned 43 and I shared how I finally lost those stubborn 15 pounds I gained when I wrote my first cookbook.
Since then I’ve written 3 more cookbooks: Naturally Keto, The 30-Day Sugar Elimination Diet and my new one due to release 9/23/25 called Good Better Best!
I can’t say I feel like I’m 23 or even 33 even though I’m a faithful exerciser who strives for healthy living in not just what I eat but all I do. I love a good cardio and strength training exercise program.
I CAN say I’m a blessed and happy woman who’s grateful for everything in her life. I’m healthy and have a beautiful family and husband who loves me and I get to do what I love for a living, and that is priceless. I am grateful and don’t take anything for granted.
And maybe….just maybe…. there is a slight bit of truth to the fact that when you’re over 40 you don’t feel as worried about what others think and you just do your own thing, moving on to the next project, and enjoying life just a little bit more than when you were 20 something, maybe.
Keto Pecan Pie Filling is Indulgent
Before you freak out at the calorie count and fat, remember this one thing, IT”S CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE!! It is INDULGENT.
It is beautiful pie for a low-carb diet and wonderful to have on your dessert table for a special occasion. It’s not an everyday kind of dessert. It was for my birthday. While low carb and healthier, it is still high in calories and fat, just saying.
Brenda’s Notes:
- If you don’t have the sweetener I used, you can use another sugar free baking blend.
- If you don’t have liquid vanilla stevia you can eliminate it and I think this delicious keto pie would still be sweet but not as sweet as typical pecan pie.
- You could also use another flavor of liquid stevia like Cinnamon or toffee flavor. You could also use 1/4 teaspoon of pure stevia extract if you don’t have the liquid version of stevia.
