This low carb almond flour pie crust recipe is so easy to make. Just 5 minutes prep and 5 ingredients! Gluten-free, paleo, sugar-free, and keto.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cup Blanched almond flour

• 1/3 cup Erythritol (or any sweetener of choice*; omit for savory pie crust)

• 1/4 tsp Sea salt (or 1/2 tsp for savory pie crust)

• 1/4 cup Ghee (measured solid, then melted)

• 1 large Egg (or ~2 tbsp additional ghee)

• 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line the bottom of a 9 in (23 cm) round pie pan with parchment paper, or grease well.
• In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, erythritol (if using), and sea salt.
• Stir in the melted ghee and egg, until well combined. (If using vanilla, stir that into the melted ghee before adding to the dry ingredients.)
• The “dough” will be dry and crumbly.
• Just keep mixing, pressing and stirring, until it’s uniform and there is no almond flour powder left. (Alternatively, you can use a food processor to mix it all together.)
• Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• You can flute the edges of desired; if it crumbles when doing this, just press it back together. Carefully poke holes in the surface using a fork to prevent bubbling.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden. (Add fillings only after pre-baking.)
• Enjoy 🙂

Notes

• The amount of sweetener that is best will vary based on the filling. Use 1/3 cup for a sweet crust, 1/4 cup for a very lightly sweet crust (if your filling is super sweet), 1/2 cup for a very sweet crust (if you like a sweeter crust or your filling is tart), OR omit sweetener for savory crust.
