The Best Pecan Pie Recipe

This is the best pecan pie recipe for people looking to cut calories, carbs, and sugar, without sacrificing flavor or texture.

To make this low calorie pecan pie, I boosted the protein by using almond flour in the crust and in the pecan pie filling.

Then I lowered the sugar with some healthy alternatives. What you get is a perfectly sweet, completely decadent pecan pie recipe for only 163 calories!

I did cut the slices of this low calorie pecan pie a tiny bit smaller, so if this angers you please hold the hate mail and just cut it into 10 slices (that will make the recipe 195 calories).

This is the BEST low calorie pecan pie recipe… it’s just 163 calories per slice!

These low calorie tips can help you make a low calorie almost sugar free pecan pie! And you can use the tips and trick in all your baking!

Low Calorie Tips for Pecan Pie Crust and Filling:

  • Olive oil spray… skip buttering the pie pan, save time, money, and your clothing and use olive oil spray instead. As a bonus you’ll also save calories and fat!
  • Almond flour... swap out flour for almond flour and you’ll boost protein, lower carbs, and add a healthy boost to your easy pecan pie recipe!
  • Zero calorie all-natural sweetener… this all natural sweetener is made from sugar cane, but has zero calories and no sugar! It works in baking recipes “cup for cup”!
  • Low calorie all-natural maple syrup… I have fallen in love with the monk fruit maple syrup! It’s great in baking recipes as it gives all the sticky sweetness you need, without all the calories and sugar!
  • Unsweetened applesauce… apple sauce can be used in place of butter in this pecan pie homemade recipe! It saves calories and unhealthy fats… and best of all it naturally sweetens the crust!
