Sugar Free Pecan Pie

Pecans are a great source of protein and healthy fats. With a combination of pecans and omega-3 rich flax seeds this decadent dessert is nutritious as well as delicious. The protein in the nuts will stabilize your blood sugar and allow your body to process the natural sweeteners more gently.

Our pecan pie uses brown rice syrup and maple syrup to create that well-known chewy, sweet filling. You may use any of our pie crust recipes as a shell for this pie.

Serve hot or cold and, if you like, top with your favorite sugar free ice cream.
